Ingredients
1cupPeanut ButterSmooth or crunchy, room temperature if refrigerated.
1/2cupGranulated Sugar
1/2cupBrown SugarPacked.
1largeEggRoom temperature.
1teaspoonBaking Soda
1teaspoonVanilla Extract
1pinchSalt
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (about 175°C) for 3 minutes while you mix the dough.
In a mixing bowl, blend the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the baking soda, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the dough is fully combined and slightly glossy.
Scoop or roll the dough into 1-inch balls. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands slightly or chill the dough for 5 minutes to make rolling easier.
Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Use a fork to gently flatten each dough ball, pressing down to create the classic crisscross peanut butter cookie pattern.
Air fry at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, rotating the basket halfway through if your model cooks unevenly.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool for 10 minutes to firm up.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
