Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Comments:
Peanut butter and chocolate, mmmm! Makes 72 cookies.
A note about cookies: if they are done on top, but black on the bottom, you have a bad cookie sheet. Try an insulated one or a baking stone.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening (I use butter flavor Crisco)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chips or milk chocolate chips
  

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. In small bowl combine flour, soda, baking powder and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl, beat butter, shortening, peanut butter, sugars and eggs on medium speed until well-blended. Add flour mixture to mixer, beating until well-blended. Stir in chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Transfer cookies to rack to cool.
