Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on the cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will remain soft. Avoid overbaking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Maple Cookies with a cold glass of milk or as a sweet snack any time of day!
