Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated white sugar, and one large egg. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Scoop Dough: Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough and place the scoops evenly spaced on the parchment paper inside the air fryer basket. Press the tops gently with a fork to create the classic crisscross pattern.
- Air Fry Cookies: Set the air fryer temperature to 320°F (160°C) and cook the cookies for 8 to 9 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Cool Cookies: Carefully remove the air fryer basket. Let the cookies cool in the basket for a few minutes before transferring them onto a cooling rack to cool completely. This helps the cookies set properly and prevents breakage.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and binding.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space between cookies for even cooking.
- Check cookies at 8 minutes to avoid over-baking, as air fryer models may vary.
- Allow cookies to cool completely for optimal texture before serving.
