How to store:
Store air fryer peanut butter cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to 5 days. Store a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them moist.
Also, you can refrigerate the leftover cookie dough for up to 3 days to cook at a later time.
How to freeze:
We prefer to freeze the dough prior to baking. Go ahead and scoop the cookies into balls.
Place on a cookie sheet and flash freeze for 1 to 2 hours. This process will prevent the cookies from sticking once in the freezer.
Transfer the frozen cookie dough balls into a freezer bag or freezer container. Freeze up to 3 months.
You can bake whenever the craving strikes for homemade cookies. You may need to add a couple of minutes to the cooking time if frozen. This method is perfect if you want to enjoy just a couple of cookies or several.

How to tell when Air Fryer Peanut Butter cookies are done?
The cookies should be golden brown around the edges. The center should be mostly set.
Air fryer temperatures can vary so keep a close eye on the cookies while cooking. You do not want to overcook the cookies or they will not be soft and chewy.
Why do you put fork marks in peanut butter cookies?
It helps the cookies to bake evenly. The edges will be perfectly crispy and the inside soft and chewy.
Not only does it help in the cooking process but it looks pretty too.

Recipe Variations and Additions
- Chocolate Chips. Add ⅓ cup chocolate chips to the cookie mixture.

- Hershey Kiss. As soon as the cookies have finished cooking, place a Hershey Kiss on top. You can use traditional kisses or try using hugs.
