Potluck Recipe: Maple Peanut Butter Cookies

So those cookies I mentioned yesterday were a success. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup, even though I doubled the amount in the original recipe. Next time, I'm going to cut down the sugar. The recipe I'm posting is the one I followed.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 10 oz package peanut butter chips

Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in syrup and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in peanut butter chips.
2. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks.
