1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together.

3. In a large bowl, beat the shortening, peanut butter, honey and ½ cup granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4. Beat in the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

5. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture until a soft dough forms.

6. Pour the ¼ cup granulated sugar into a small bowl. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the sugar to coat.

7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets and flatten each slightly with a fork, pressing in a crisscross pattern.

8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look set.

9. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
