Low-sodium Peanut Buttter Cookies

My mom made THE BEST peanut butter cookies, and I have used her recipe all my life. Just a few changes and they become low-sodium cookies, and no difference in taste! Here's how:
Sift together one cup of flour and 1/2 tsp baking soda
Add: 1/2 cup soft shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup Simply Jif or other low sodium peanut butter
1 tbsp water
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix well, then use teaspoon to create small balls of dough (roll them in your palms) and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Use a fork dipped in water to flatten, and do a criss-cross pattern on each cookie.
Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
The cookies will be thin and crispy, great for dunking!
