Start by combining creamy almond butter and white sugar in a medium bowl. Add the egg and mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth cookie dough.

Cut parchment paper to fit your air fryer basket exactly - avoid excess paper on sides as it can blow up and disturb the cookies.

Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.2 tablespoons), place four cookie dough balls onto the parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Create the classic crisscross pattern by gently pressing a fork into each cookie ball twice, making perpendicular marks. Move slowly when lifting the fork to maintain the pattern.

Air fry at 370°F for 6.5-7 minutes until cookies are golden brown around the edges.

Let the cookies rest undisturbed in the air fryer basket for 10 minutes - this step is crucial for proper setting.

Carefully transfer to fresh parchment paper to cool completely.

Repeat the process with remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
