Air-Fryer Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups

Air-fryer peanut butter & jelly cookie cups from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

Air-Fryer Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups preparation stage

You’ll Need

100g peanut butter
75g softened butter
100g light brown sugar
1 egg
125g self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp strawberry or raspberry jam
For The Finish
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp melted peanut butter
Optional But Dangerous
White chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream
Extra jam

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 160°C.

Lightly grease four ramekins, silicone muffin moulds, or foil pudding cups.

In a bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar until smooth.

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

Fold through the flour until a soft cookie dough forms.

Divide most of the dough between the moulds, pressing it into the base and slightly up the sides.

Spoon a tablespoon of jam into the centre of each one.

Top with the remaining cookie dough, leaving a little jam peeking through in places.

Air fry at 160°C for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges and still slightly soft in the middle.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Drizzle with melted peanut butter and dust lightly with icing sugar.

Serve warm while the centres remain soft and sticky.

Lad Tip: The cookie cups should still feel slightly underdone when they come out of the fryer. That's the secret. Let them cool for a few minutes and they'll settle into that perfect chewy, gooey middle that makes people immediately ask if there are any more.
