Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
While natural peanut butter can be used, it may result in slightly different texture and flavor due to its consistency and lack of added sugars.

Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
Yes, you can! Simply roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, then transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw slightly before flattening and cooking in the air fryer.

How do I store leftover cookies?
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies for longer storage, though they may lose some of their texture when thawed.

What you need to make Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies:

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

Optional: chocolate chips for topping

How to make it:

Instructions:

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined air fryer basket, leaving space between each cookie.

Flatten each ball gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.

Optional: Press chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies for an extra indulgent touch.

Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Chunky peanut butter can alter the consistency of the cookies.

Don’t overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough cookies.

Experiment with different toppings such as chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor and texture.

Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and personal preference. Keep an eye on the cookies towards the end of the cooking time to prevent over-browning.
