Giant peanut butter and chocolate chip air fryer cookies

Crisp on top and gooey in the middle, there is nothing nicer than freshly baked cookies. Easier than making individual cookies, these giant ones can be cut into wedges to serve. You can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it, then bake the cookies to order.

Blue plates and white bowls, holding wedges of choc-chip cookie and vanilla ice-cream, sit on a mable surface.

Ingredients

  • 60 g (2¼ oz) crunchy peanut butter
  • 75 g (2½ oz) unsalted butter
  • 90 g (3¼ oz) light soft brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 110 g (3¾ oz) self-raising (self-rising) flour, sifted
  • 90 g (3¼ oz) dark chocolate chips
  • Sea salt
  • Ice-cream to serve, optional

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt together the peanut butter and butter. Stir well to combine.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butters with the sugar, using a wooden spoon, then crack in the egg and mix again.
  3. Add the flour, chocolate chips and a pinch of salt, then mix briefly until you have a very soft mixture.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
  5. Line the air fryer with a sheet of perforated baking parchment and spoon half the mixture on top. Flatten it down with a spatula, spreading the mixture out to make a 20 cm (8 in) cookie.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the air fryer and repeat with the remaining dough.
  7. Cut each cookie into quarters and serve with some vanilla ice cream. Any leftovers will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days.

Note
This recipe was created using both a single basket-style (5.2-litre/21-cup) air fryer and an ovenstyle one. Cooking times can vary depending on the model you use.
