Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup shortening (half butter or margarine)
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 package chocolate chips (whatever you prefer)

Mix shortening, peanut butter, sugars and eggs thoroughly. Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting. Blend all dry ingredients; stir into shortening mixture. Add chocolate chips.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll dough in 1 1/4″ balls and place 3″ apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten crisscross style with a fork dipped in flour.
Bake 10-12 minutes.

These turned out big, just the way I like them. They ended up about 3 inches across, so I only made a small batch and froze the rest to cook later.
