Let the peanut butter sit at room temperature for a while or you can microwave it a little bit so that it is soft, then add it to a bowl. Heat the maple syrup in a microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop until it is hot. Add to the peanut butter.

Add the salt and flour, I usually add 2 tablespoons of flour and then add more 1 tablespoon at a time depending on the consistency. Mix in the flour and let the mixture sit in for 5-10 minutes.

If still sticky after 10 mins, add 1 more tablespoon of flour to mix in and see if you need more. You want it to be a soft cookie dough and not stiff. Put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, melt your chocolate. Either on a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave. As soon as the chocolate starts to melt, whisk it until all chocolate has melted and is smooth. Set aside.

Get the cookie dough bowl from the fridge. Using a scoop or a spoon divide the dough into equal portions and roll it out into balls. Press these balls on parchment paper or a plate using a fork and set aside.
