Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, maple syrup, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press each cookie dough ball gently with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft, which is perfect for a chewy cookie texture.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
