PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS IN AIR FRYER
I love this cookie because it brings back fond memories baking cookies with my grandmother. She makes beautiful annual holiday cookie platters for her holiday party every year that are very special.
This is a wonderful cookie recipe to make for a bake sale, delicious dessert or cookie gift exchange with friends and family, along with these Christmas Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe and Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Ingredients:
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- unsalted butter
- creamy peanut butter-like Jif or Peter Pan Peanut Butter
- sugar
- egg
- milk chocolate kisses
- white sugar to coat
Optional Candy Toppings: Candy cane, peanut butter cups, marshmallow, candy corns or pumpkins, any small chocolate candy or m & m's.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS:
-
In a medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients flour, baking powder, and salt. Set bowl aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed and combine the butter, peanut butter, and 1 cup of sugar. Beat together until creamy.
-
Add the egg to the dough and continue mixing until well combined into the dough.
-
Slowly add the flour mixture to the bowl and continue mixing on medium speed until a soft dough forms. Cover bowl of dough and allow to chill for 30 minutes in your refrigerator.
-
Once dough has chilled, use a portion scoop or a medium cookie scoop and scoop dough into ball shapes (approximately 1-inch sized balls).
-
Roll each ball of dough in sugar, fully coating the outside. Place coated dough balls in a single layer into the basket of your air fryer, lined with parchment paper.
-
Air fry at 380 degrees F for 5-7 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown. When finished cooking quickly press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie before they fully cool.
-
Let cookies continue to cool for an additional 1-2 minutes before removing them from the air fryer. Place baked cookies on a wire rack so cookies cool completely.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages cook time may need to be adjusted a couple of minutes.
FAQ's
Drizzle them with melted milk, dark or white chocolate. Roll balls in colored granulated sugar or sprinkles depending on the holiday or event you are making them for. Decorate the middle of cookies with colored icing in the shapes of pumpkins, snowmen or Christmas trees.
Allow cookies to completely cool prior to storing them. If refrigerating store, them in an airtight container or resealable storage bag for 3-5 days. If you are going to freeze them, wrap them in wax paper or plastic wrap (helps prevent freezer burn) before placing them in an airtight storage container or freezer safe storage bag for up to 3 months.
If you are allergic to peanuts there are a few other butters that you can use instead. Almond butter, cashew butter and sunflower butter are all great choices. Just know they may cook a little bit differently than peanut butter since they may be a bit wetter so you may have to adjust the flour to get the right consistency you need in the dough.

Have a new stove with an air fryer in it would it be the same temperature as a regular air fryer to bake cookies?
I also have a stove with an air fryer and I do have to add a little cook time to the recipes I usually make in my countertop air fryer. Hope that helps!
