Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) salt
  • Optional: Extra granulated sugar, for coating

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Optionally, roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  7. Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined air fryer basket, leaving space between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
  8. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centres are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool in the air fryer basket for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
