Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural or regular both work
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar essential for texture
  • 1 large egg room temperature preferred

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • medium mixing bowl
  • cookie scoop or spoon
  • parchment paper
  • fork

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until just combined and smooth.
  2. Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper, trimming to fit flat. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if required.
  3. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on the parchment, leaving space between each. Use a fork to make a crisscross pattern.
  4. Air fry at 400°F for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden on the edges. Do not overbake.
  5. Let cool in the air fryer basket for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cookies will firm up as they cool.

Notes

Add-ins like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or spices can elevate your cookies. Use parchment to prevent sticking. Adjust time slightly based on air fryer model. For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flaxseed mixture.
