Amish Superlicious Maple Peanut Butter Cookies

There are many variations on the traditional peanut butter cookie recipe floating around Amish kitchens, but this is one of my favorite.  SIGH, I picked up a batch of these delicious peanut butter maple cookie at an Amish bakery and only had one cookie left before I realized - yikes - I need to photograph one!  So this is the lone cookie before I ate this one also.  The Amish cook who made them said you really can't cheat and use cheap pancake syrup in this recipe, it has to be pure maple.  So the pure maple adds a pricier splash to these cookies, but it is worth it. Yum!

Maple Peanut Butter Cookies will melt in your mouth!
