Peanut butter cookie recipe I want to try

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter, at room temperature
• 1 large egg, at room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.Place the shortening, sugars, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle and beat on medium speed stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until well combined, about 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and beat on low speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peanuts and beat 30 seconds longer.
Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls on the prepared cookie sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Roll each tablespoon of batter into a ball. Working one at a time, dip the tines of a fork in sugar and press down each ball into a 1 1/2- to 1 3/4- inch round, forming a crosshatch on top.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool cookies on cookie sheet on a rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to the rack and cool completely.
