Yes, you can definitely make peanut butter cookies in an air fryer. In fact, air fryers are a great tool for making cookies because they can provide a crispy texture on the outside while keeping the cookies soft and chewy on the inside.

• 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• ¾ Cup Sugar
• 1 Large Egg

Directions:

Combine all three ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until fully combined.

Chill the peanut butter cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Do not skip this step. The air fryer will make the cookies spread and be crumbly more than the oven. The chilling step keeps cookies from spreading too much and keeps them from crumbling.

Using a small cookie scoop (1 ½-inch cookie scoop), or heaping tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough balls onto parchment paper. This cookie dough is very sticky, so it’s best to not get your hands involved in the scooping process and stick to a scoop or spoon.

Using a fork, press the cookie flat, first one direction, then again from the opposite direction to make a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.

Line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper. Be sure to not have extra parchment paper running up the side of the air fryer or it will get caught by the air and fold over the cookies.

Place as many cookies in your air fryer tray that will fit, while giving each cookie a half inch space. Small batches of cookies work best, about 4-6 cookies.

Set your air fryer at 370 degrees and cook them for 4 minutes before giving them a rest time in the air fryer for 4 minutes. This allows them to set up and not fall apart when removed from the air fryer.

Let your delicious air fryer peanut butter cookies cool on a wire rack.

To ensure that your cookies are cooked evenly and properly, add your 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies to the air fryer oven for a cook time of 4 minutes. If your air fryer doesn’t have a 370 degree setting, choose the closest step under it as opposed to over it.

When it comes to air fryer peanut butter cookies, you need to ensure that you are selecting the right one. It is important to select a creamy and smooth-textured peanut butter as opposed to chunky or granulated peanuts.

Always allow your cookies to cool completely before storing them. Once cooled, store your air fryer peanut butter cookies in an airtight sealed container or zip-top freezer bag at room temperature. This will help keep moisture out and maintain their crunchy consistency for a longer period of time — usually up to 5 days!
