Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. Line the basket with air fryer parchment.
In a bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-size portions and roll into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
Place cookies in a single layer with space between them. Work in batches.

Immediately press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Let cool until the chocolate sets.
