Set aside. Mix fat and peanut butter. Add both kinds of sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and beat well. Stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture. Drop dough from a teaspoon on baking pan. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 375 ° (moderate oven) 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies. NOTE: This recipe calls for "fat". I used half amounts of butter (for crispness) and shortening (for chew).
