    Amish Superlicious Maple Peanut Butter Cookies

    Published: Apr 3, 2015 · Updated: Apr 3, 2015 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    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!

      Now these cookies look absolutely wonderful! I have all the ingredients on hand and also some real Vermont maple syrup just "begging" to be used up in a very delicious way! LOL!
      My husband loves anything peanut butter so this is right up his alley. Thank you for this recipe.
      Y'all have a very Happy Easter and I just know sweet little Aster will be beautiful in her Easter duds at church Sunday.
