Ingredients

1 cup Creamy Almond Butter
3/4 cup White Granulated Sugar
1 large Egg

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Combine almond butter, sugar, and the egg in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
1 cup Creamy Almond Butter, 3/4 cup White Granulated Sugar, 1 large Egg
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit your air fryer. Do not use more than one layer of parchment paper and do not have flaps of parchment paper going up the sides of the air fryer or it will flip the cookies.
Using a small cookie scoop, spoon four cookies onto the prepared sheet of parchment paper, and give them up to 2 inches apart, if possible.
Using a fork, press it gently one way, and then again the opposite way, onto the top of each cookie. Move slowly and coax the fork off of each cookie, gently, or you might make a mess of them. Don’t press the fork too deep as you don’t want to sever the cookie, just flatten it a bit.
Air fry at 370 degrees for 6.5-7 minutes, then immediately pull the basket out and let them rest for 10 minutes, undisturbed.
Transfer the cookies, gently, onto a clean sheet of parchment paper.
Repeat until all the cookies are finished. Enjoy!
