Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto a parchment-lined air fryer basket, leaving space between each cookie to allow for expansion.
Step 3: Flatten the Cookies
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Air Fry the Cookies
Place the cookie basket in the preheated air fryer. Air fry the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Step 6: Cool the Cookies
Once done, carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and allow them to cool on a wire rack after a few minutes.
Notes
Note 1: Peanut Butter Variation
You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your texture preference.
Note 2: Sugar Alternatives
Consider using alternative sugars or sweeteners to customize the sweetness to your liking.
Note 3: Storage Tips
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Note 4: Adjusting Cooking Time
Cooking times may vary based on the model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on the cookies while they cook to avoid over-baking.
