Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup white sugar
Baking Additives:
- Optional ingredients (none listed in original recipe)
Measurement/Processing Tools:
- Air fryer
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups
Instructions
- Thoroughly mix creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and a single large egg in a generously sized mixing bowl until the ingredients form a uniform, velvety consistency.
- Gently roll the dough into uniform spheres, each approximately in volume, ensuring consistent sizing for even cooking.
- Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking, then strategically place the dough balls with approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of spacing between them.
- Delicately press down on each dough ball using a fork’s tines, creating a classic crosshatch pattern that not only enhances visual appeal but also helps the cookies bake more evenly.
- Configure the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and carefully position the prepared basket inside, allowing the cookies to transform into golden-brown delicacies over 7-8 minutes.
- Once cooking completes, extract the basket and permit the cookies to rest within the air fryer for 2-3 minutes, which helps them firm up and prevents potential crumbling.
- Utilize a thin, flexible spatula to transfer the cookies onto a wire cooling rack, enabling them to reach room temperature and achieve optimal texture.
- Repeat the entire process with any remaining cookie dough to maximize your batch yield.
