Servings: 12 Cookies
Cost: $2.67
Equipment
- Hand Mixer (Optional)
- Cookie scoop (Optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, making sure it doesn't touch the heating element.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Roll into balls and place them on the parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Gently press a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie with a fork.
- Air fry for 8 minutes, then check the cookies. They should be lightly golden on top but still soft. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool in the basket for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the process with any remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
Notes
For Best Results
- Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes if it's too sticky to handle, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Space the cookies out in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking together.
- Check the cookies a minute or two before the end of the cook time, as air fryers can vary in temperature and cook quickly.
