1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda

Cream together butter, shortening, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt, and then incorporate with creamed mixture.

Measure out tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place about 3 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet and make a criss-cross pattern with a fork.
