Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

1. Preheat
   Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3–5 minutes while you shape the cookies.

Step 3: Shape the Cookies

1. Form Cookies
   Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a plate or parchment paper.
2. Flatten the Cookies
   Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, creating a crisscross pattern. This step helps the cookies cook evenly and gives them a classic peanut butter cookie look.

Step 4: Air Fry the Cookies

1. Arrange in Air Fryer
   Place the cookies in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
2. Air Fry
   Cook the cookies for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as air fryer models can vary in cooking time.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Cool the Cookies
   Carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. This will help them firm up.
2. Serve
   Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
