My family has a tradition of putting peanut butter on waffles and pouring real maple syrup over it. So good! So I had to try this recipe when I found it. These are much better than a plain old peanut butter cookie, but I wanted even more maple flavor. Next time I'm going to roll these in maple sugar before baking.

These are very good, and quick and easy to make. They're sweet, but not overly sugary. I cooked mine on two trays for around fourteen minutes removing the first tray from the oven immediately, and leaving the other tray in the cooling oven for around half an hour. The cookies I removed immediately are very soft, while the ones I left in the oven are very crunchy and more to my liking. I only just realised I made them too large, as I ended up with just 20 cookies. This would account for them being soft. I used butter and lite peanut butter. I'll make them another time (the right size), and will post a rating.
