"This is a recipe our own kittencal has posted at another recipe site. Since she has not yet posted it here, I am doing so, because they are one of DH's favourites. The recipe intro says. "Taken from the award-winning "Laura Secord" cookbook. Add in some finely chopped peanuts to the batter if desired.""

Step 1
Set oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Lightly grease a large baking sheet. (I use parchment paper)
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
Step 4
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, white sugar, and maple extract.
Step 5
Beat in brown sugar and peanut butter and continue to beat until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Step 6
Add in egg and beat for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the speed and add in the dry ingredients in 3 additions, mixing well until a stiff dough forms.
Step 8
Shape the dough into small balls and place 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Press down with a fork to flatten.
Step 10
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. (I have never cooked mine for longer then 12 minutes and I cook them on a rack above the middle one.)
