Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Beat in maple syrup and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add flour. Sprinkle in salt and baking soda evenly over the flour.
Step 5
Mix altogether. The dough will be a little stiff, but should easily stick together.
Step 6
Scoop out or roll into balls the size of a shelled walnut. Place on an oiled parchment-lined cookie tray.
Step 7
Press down with the tines of a fork, first one way and then the other to create a criss-cross pattern.
Step 8
Bake at 375 F for about 11 minutes. This will yield a cookie that is chewy and soft in the center. If you prefer a crisper texture, flatten the cookie a little more and bake for about 14 minutes.
Step 9
