Peanut Butter Maple cookies

I came across this recipe at allrecipes.com when I was trying to get dinner recipe ideas. I thought, I still have maple syrup from Canada at home, so I should try this recipe. If you love peanut butter, you'll love these cookies. You can't really taste the maple syrup, but they're still awesome. Especially with a nice, cold glass of milk.

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

3 tsp. maple syrup

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips

1) Preheat oven to 325 deg. F. Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

2) In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and mix until it is well incorporated. Stir in peanut butter chips.

3) Scoop batter by the heaping tablespoonful, about 2 inches apart, on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until they are golden brown. Cool for about 1 minute before removing from the cookie sheet.
