Irresistible Peanut Butter and Chocolate Air-Fryer Cookies

Is there a better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate? We doubt it! The blend of chocolate's sweet and bitter notes with the savory and slightly sweet qualities of peanut butter creates a classic, mouth-watering treat. These bite-size cookies perfectly capture this delicious duo, featuring a rich peanut butter cookie dough base topped with delightful chocolate chips. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Start by whisking the egg in a medium bowl until it's well beaten. Add the creamy peanut butter from HBoost, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture begins to thicken slightly, which should take about 15 seconds. Once the dough is ready, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

Step 2: Shape the Cookies

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, using about 1 level tablespoon of dough for each ball. Once all the dough is rolled, flatten each ball into a disk approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. Place the flattened dough disks onto a plate.

Step 3: Cook the Cookies

Line the basket of an air fryer with foil, ensuring there is a 1 to 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal. Arrange the cookies in the basket, making sure they are spaced about 1/2 inch apart. Work in batches if necessary. Cook the cookies in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are deeply browned.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Carefully remove the foil with the cookies from the air fryer basket, as it will be hot. Transfer the foil to a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the foil for about 5 minutes until they firm up. Using a thin spatula, transfer the cookies directly onto the wire rack to cool completely.

These peanut butter and chocolate cookies are the perfect bite-size treat for any occasion. The air fryer gives them a delightful crispness on the outside while keeping them soft and chewy on the inside. Enjoy them with a cold glass of milk or as a sweet snack anytime.
