Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies

 

If you asked me to get an air fryer about a year ago, I would be skeptical. I always thought since you would cook something without oil, it would not taste good and all you could do with an air fryer was to cook certain kinds of foods only.

 

Little did I realize, you could create great dishes with an air fryer and not only is it healthy and quick, it also tastes damn good!

 

I’ve had my air fryer for about 2 months now and I have made some yummy and healthy dishes in it. I didn’t think I could also make snacks and desserts with the air fryer, too! And so I tried making peanut butter cookies in it.

 

Since my family have all been tested positive for Covid (except my daughter and I), I decided to try it and since it came out better than I expected it to, it was a nice treat for the family.

 

Nevertheless, I would like to share with you how I made these yummy peanut butter cookies in my air fryer.

 

What you need:

 

I doubled this recipe and got about 16 cookies.

 

2 tbsp butter, softened

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

6 tbsp packed light brown sugar

1 tbsp milk

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

 

What you do:

 

1. In a bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the milk and vanilla to the wet mixture and beat until well combined.
3. Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
4. Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
5. Form dough into balls (1 tbsp of dough each) and place on the parchment paper in the air fryer, leaving space in between each for spreading.
6. Using a fork, press a crisscross pattern into each ball of dough.
7. Air fry at 325F (160C) for 5 - 6 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Let cool before eating. They will firm up as they cool.

Enjoy.
