    AIR FRYER PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES RECIPE

    These Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are so fun and easy to make in the air fryer! I love the salty and sweet combination of peanut butter and chocolate in these. 

    We have an Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookie recipe too, but this recipe takes it a step further with a sweet chocolate kiss in the middle.

    Did you know that kisses were originally wrapped by hand when they were introduced in 1907? So neat!

    Making cookies in the air fryer is a great way to enjoy a sweet treat without too much fuss.

    INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES

    all purpose flour - regular or gluten free all purpose flour will work here. 

    baking soda - a must for most cookie recipes!

    salt - to bring out the sweetness.

    butter, softened to room temperature - take the time to soften the butter! 

    peanut butter, smooth - You could use a crunchy peanut butter here, just know that the texture will be very different. 

    brown sugar - If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can use white.

    Sugar - using both white sugar and brown sugar in cookie recipes gives extra flavor and a slightly soft texture.

    egg - any type of egg will work, large eggs are the best size to use for baking.

    milk (dairy or non dairy) - any kind of milk you have will work fine here. 

    Hershey’s kisses (unwrapped) - take a moment to unwrap the kisses before you start baking. You don’t want to be rushed later!

    HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

    1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.
    2. In another bowl, mix together the softened butter and peanut butter.  It may be helpful to use an electric mixer. Then add in the sugars and mix until well combined.
    3. Next, add in the egg and milk. Mix well to combine. Slowly add in the flour mixture in small increments. Mix until just combined. Be sure not to over mix
    4. Roll about a tablespoon of the cookie dough into a ball. Then gently use your hands to flatten the cookies slightly. Put the cookies into the air fryer basket or air fryer tray. Air Fry the cookies as directed in the recipe below. Very carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer. 
    5. Gently press an unwrapped kiss into the center of the cookie. The cookie will be delicate and still pliable. Use your fingers to mold the cookie back around the base of the kiss, if it has spread out.
    6. The cookies need to rest until completely cool. This will help them strengthen.

    Note: if the dough seems dry (it might depending on the all purpose flour you use) you can add in 1-2 T more of milk until you reach the consistency you’d like. 

    Optional: You can roll the cookie dough ball in sugar before air frying.

    These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES

    These cookies are fantastic on their own as a sweet treat, but would also be gorgeous on a cookie platter for the holidays!

    HOW TO FREEZE PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

    I suggest freezing these cookies prior to air frying them. Since they are so fast to cook, you can have cookies in no time! Make your dough, and freeze it already rolled into balls.

    Freeze the kisses separately, but nearby so that you have them ready to go.

    When you are ready to air fry your cookies, thaw the frozen dough balls for a half hour or so, then bake as directed.

    FUN VARIATIONS ON PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES

    Some variations on this recipe involve rolling the dough in sugar before baking. You can absolutely do that with this recipe!

    Add a pinch of cinnamon to that sugar for a bit of warmth.

    Swap out the milk chocolate kisses for dark chocolate, or any of the many variations of kisses available.

    HOW TO DECORATE AIR FRYER PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES

    Decorating cookies is a great way to make them fun for the holidays. Roll your dough in red and green colored sugar before baking.

    You can also drizzle these cookies with melted white chocolate and then add sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
