Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda and a pinch of salt to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed and a dough forms.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls, about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined tray, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  5. Flatten the Cookies: Gently press down on each cookie dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of the cookies. This also helps flatten the cookies slightly for even cooking.
  6. Air Fry the Cookies: Place the tray of cookie dough balls in the preheated air fryer basket. You may need to cook the cookies in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Ensure they are not overcrowded.
  7. Cooking Time: Air fry the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and set in the center. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent over-browning.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once the cookies are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
  9. Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the cookies for longer storage and enjoy them whenever you crave a sweet treat.
