Peanut butter cookies, when made with wholesome ingredients like natural peanut butter, whole-grain flour, and minimal added sugars, offer several potential health benefits. They are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. These cookies can contribute to satiety, support muscle health, and provide long-lasting energy. However, moderation is key, as they can still be calorie-dense and high in sugar.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
Preheat the Air Fryer Oven:
- Preheat your air fryer oven to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined air fryer tray or basket, leaving space between each cookie.
Flatten the Cookies:
- Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on top. This also helps the cookies bake evenly.
Optional Toppings:
- If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top of each cookie for extra flavor.
Air Fry Oven the Cookies:
- Place the tray or basket in the preheated air fryer oven and put the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.
Cool and Serve:
