Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

This lovely recipe comes from The Great America Cookie Cookbook, which I got for Christmas one year. I love this recipe and have to admit I think I ate a dozen of these cookies the day I made them. Oops :)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 Peanut Butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups Chocolate Chips
Granulated sugar

Heat over 375.

Beat butter, shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, 1/2 c granulated sugar, and egg in a large bowl until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape into 1-inch balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet. With fork dipped in granulated sugar flatten in criss-cross pattern.

Bake 9 to 11 mins, cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet.
