Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- Using a fork, press down on each ball to create a crisscross pattern, flattening the cookies to about ½ inch thick.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Air Fry the Cookies:
- Place a parchment paper liner in the air fryer basket. Arrange the cookies in a single layer, ensuring they are about 1 inch apart. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Storage:Â Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Natural Peanut Butter:Â If using natural peanut butter, ensure it’s well-stirred to incorporate the oils, as this can affect the cookie’s texture.
- Variations:Â For added texture, consider using crunchy peanut butter or mixing in chocolate chips.
