Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until thoroughly combined and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Maple Peanut Butter Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week!
