Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies—perfect for when you want a small batch of cookies in less time!

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, as preferred)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt (optional, if your peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Shape the Cookies:
   • Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
4. Arrange the Cookies:
   • Place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Arrange the cookies on the parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie (you may need to work in batches).
5. Air Fry:
   • Cook the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes. The cookies should be golden around the edges but may look slightly soft in the center—they will firm up as they cool.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cookies cool in the air fryer for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For a sweeter touch, press a chocolate chip or Hershey’s Kiss in the center of each cookie right after air frying.
• Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model.
• Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
