Servings 3 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup shortening or softened butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy is my favorite
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F! In a large bowl, combine all your ingredients and mix everything together until well blended.
- Roll the mixture into balls and arrange them on an ungreased cookie sheet. I like to use parchment paper to make clean-up a snap. Use a fork to gently flatten each ball in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then let them cool slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Use a spatula to gently transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
