Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies
Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies take my favorite cookie and get it done even quicker! They're just as delicious as you'd think! Peanut butter cookies have always been my favorite - and I doubled up the peanut butter - and don't forget to roll them in sugar! That was my Grandma's final touch!

Notes
How do you know when cookies are done?
I’m a big fan of soft cookies and like them a bit underdone – so they should be set but not firm. They’ll continue to cook after removed from air fryer. Moral of the story – take them out sooner than later – you’ll be glad you did!
How do you store cookies after baked?
Air tight container – I use a large rubbermaid-style tub.
Can you freeze peanut butter cookies?
Yes – the morning after I make them – I always freeze at least half of them – just in a freezer bag.
Will this work with nut butter?
Not sure – I haven’t tried. I would think it should work – but I would avoid a natural peanut butter that separates and has a bunch of oil at the top.
What can you add to peanut butter cookies?
I added peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to some of mine – you could also use chunky peanut butter for some chunks of peanut as well! They don’t get “melty gooey” like a chocolate chip cookie – but it’s still tasty!
