Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup shortening
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp. vanilla 
• ¼ cup sugar, for rolling the cookies 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, honey and shortening on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Then add the in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
5. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the flour mixture until a dough forms.
6. Use a 2-tablespoon sized scoop to scoop out dough and roll into a ball. Drop in the sugar and toss to coat. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and press down with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
