It’s Spring Break here in Alberta, and we are immensely enjoying the slower pace of a less-filled schedule. There’s been movie nights {on a weekday!}, de-cluttering of rooms, and spontaneous trips to the pet store followed by me saying, ‘no, we can’t buy him‘ a few hundred times.
Also on the agenda of no-schedule week? Lots of cooking and baking! I’m taking this time to re-stock the depleted freezer meals, breads and snacks. It’ll be nice to have these on hand when life isn’t so lazy.
One particular goodie that met my oven this week is Peanut Butter Maple Cookies.
This recipe is really simple to make, and I always have all the ingredients on hand to make these cookies. No special trips to the store!
It’s also a recipe that simply says, ‘combine all and mix’, which is the definition of easy when baking.
Best of all – my little twin helpers got suited up and played a major part in the making and eating of these old fashioned peanut butter maple cookies. They did some mixing, forming of the balls and pressing with the fork.
Sure, it took a little longer than if I had done it myself. Plus, there was a little bit more of a mess too. But it was fun for us all.
There’s something special about spending a lazy afternoon making cookies with littles who think that this is the best spring break ever! … ok, it’s actually their first spring break ever, but that doesn’t matter.
What does matter is letting go of the chaos and snacking on cookies and milk right before dinner. This might be a new spring break tradition!

Those look so soft. I have to try these out as the kids LOVE peanut butter cookies. Could I replace the maple syrup with honey?
I’m sure you could, why not!! 🙂
My son has a peanut allergy so we don’t get these kind of treats anymore but they look amazing!
Oh no! Try the recipe with the ‘fake’ PB, I’m curious to see how they turn out. I totally understand though, my husband is allergic to nuts {peanut butter isn’t a nut, so PB is the one thing we can have in the house.
Peanut butter is made from peanuts. I make my own peanut butter with peranuts
I seriously love the use of maple syrup! A wholesome sweetener! And I bet it really adds to the flavor.
It’s a light touch of maple, I’m going to try and add more next time. Perhaps more of the syrup and a little less of the white sugar. Just to see if you can cut the sugar and keep the form. Always experimenting!!
This sounds like an interesting flavor combo! Peanut butter cookies are my favorite, so I will definitely have to try this twist.
Kickin’ it up a notch!! 😉
