Ingredients

Dough
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Optional
Chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt
Extra sugar for rolling

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Roll into 1-inch balls. Roll in extra sugar if desired. Place on parchment in the basket.

  3. 3

    Press each ball with a fork in a criss-cross pattern to flatten slightly.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 325°F for 7-9 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly soft.

  5. 5

    Cool on the parchment for 5 minutes — they firm up as they cool. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

💡

Tip: Don't overbake — they look underdone when you pull them but set up perfectly as they cool. Overbaked peanut butter cookies are dry and crumbly.
