Maple Peanut Butter Cookies

These are like traditional peanut butter cookies, but unique in that they are flavored with maple! This was Judith Korbey's of Methuen, Massachusetts contribution to the 1958 Pillsbury Bake-Off. I got the recipe from the 50th Anniversay Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook.

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.Reply
