The Best Peanut-Butter Cookies Ever

1/2 c peanut butter
1 egg
1-1/2 c flour
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c shortening
1/2 t soda
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t salt

Shape into balls and flatten. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a 350F oven.

*****************
This recipe is from the Kitchen Fare Desserts Cookbook, and it is the best recipe I've found for peanut-butter cookies. I use butter instead of shortening, and the cookies are rich and chewy. Be careful not to overbake them--as with all cookies. Saralynn says they're "delectable."
