How to Make Maple Peanut Yummies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in ½ cup pure maple syrup and 1 large egg yolk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to firm up. This makes the dough easier to handle.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Using a fork dipped in granulated sugar, flatten each ball in a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Start checking at 8 minutes.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
