-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Beat shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and salt together
in large bowl until smooth.
In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking soda. Slowly add the dry
mixture to the wet mixture while beating.
Roll 3 tablespoon-size portions of the dough into a ball in your hands and
press to 1/2-inch flat on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, or the cookies will not
be chewy.
