Servings: persons

2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 cups Brown Sugar
1 cup Peanut Butter, Creamy
1/2 cups Shortening
1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 whole Large Eggs
10 ounces, weight Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate M&M Baking Bits

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. (You do not need to use parchment paper, but I like to when I bake.)
2
In a bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together; set aside.
3
In a large bowl, add sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, butter, vanilla, maple syrup and eggs; beat until combined. Lightly beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in M&M baking bits.
4
Scoop 1 teaspoon portions of batter and place about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes until lightly golden. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then place on a cooling rack.
5
Note: These cookies taste best under-baked. I found 8 minutes to be perfect but my oven cooks fast. You want them just slightly golden on the bottom.
