Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour; 5-1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 1 cup Granulated Sugar; 1 cup Brown Sugar; 1 cup Peanut Butter; 1/2 cups Shortening; 1/2 cups Butter, Softened; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup; 2 whole Eggs

Servings: persons

2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
5-1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 cups Shortening
1/2 cups Butter, Softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 whole Eggs

1
In a bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together and set aside.
2
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.
3
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight.
4
Heat oven to 375u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. (You do not need to use parchment paper but I like to when I bake.)
5
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet (9 cookies per baking sheet). Flatten with a crisscross pattern using a fork dipped into sugar. Be sure to refrigerate the dough in between baking batches of cookies.
6
Bake in oven for 8 minutes for a soft center and light golden color on the bottom, or 9 minutes for a crispy cookie that is lightly golden on top. Let the cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then place on a cooling rack.
