Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS:

Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking soda, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.

Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for spreading during cooking.

Pattern and Cook: Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball and create a crisscross pattern on top. Cook the cookies in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.

Cool: Once cooked, remove the cookies from the air fryer and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential for allowing the cookies to set properly and achieve the perfect texture.

Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in these delightful Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies! They are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a quick snack, an after-school treat, or a simple dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.
