Peanut Butter Cookies

I have been making this recipe since the boys were very young.  I was going to say small, but they measured over the 90th percentile in height all along.  When Allen was about 10 he got the idea to make them into Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies, making a well in each ball of dough and dropping in black capped raspberries.  He entered them into the Hemlock Fair and won a blue ribbon!  Sometimes I flatten the dough balls with a fork and put a Hershey Kiss on each one after they are baked.  Unwrap the kisses first, of course. 

1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 c shortening
2 eggs
1 c peanut butter
Combine above.  
In a separate bowl, mix:
2 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
When well mixed, add to first mixture
roll into 1 inch balls, put on cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a fork
bake for 10-12 minutes at
375 degrees
