📋 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) 🥜
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 🍬
  • 1 large egg 🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 🌾
  • A pinch of salt 🧂

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  1. Mix the wet ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  1. Add the dry ingredients:
  • Stir in the baking soda and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated into the dough.

2. Shape the Cookies:

  1. Form the dough balls:
  • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the dough balls on a plate or tray.
  1. Flatten with a fork:
  • Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.

3. Air Fry the Cookies:

  1. Preheat the air fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
  1. Cook the cookies:
  • Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with parchment paper. Place the cookies in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching or overcrowded (you may need to cook them in batches). Air fry the cookies for 5-7 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and set.
  1. Cool the cookies:
  • Carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. The cookies will be soft when you take them out but will firm up as they cool.

4. Serve:

  1. Enjoy:
  • Serve the peanut butter cookies warm or at room temperature. They pair perfectly with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
