Apple Peanut Butter Cookies

These were good, but since I am a chocolate lover it didn't quite hit the spot. However, for those of you who don't mind sweets even if they don't have chocolate this is still a great recipe! This recipe was found on the Taste of Home website.

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
