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. Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup shortening, softened |
1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy, your pick) |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
1 large egg yolk |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add syrup and the egg yolk and beat well.
4. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
5. If necessary, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes for easier handling.
6. Shape dough into 1 balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
7. With a fork dipped in sugar, flatten balls with a criss-cross pattern.
8. Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
