Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture for the cookie dough.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute them throughout the dough.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and preheat it for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even baking and crisp edges.
- Shape the Cookies: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll them lightly, and then flatten each ball slightly. Arrange the cookies spaced apart in the basket to prevent sticking and allow room for spreading.
- Cook the Cookies: Air fry the cookies at 320°F (160°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool slightly. Enjoy the cookies warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook cookies in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit as per preference.
- For crispier cookies, air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Use parchment paper designed for air fryers or perforated to ensure proper airflow and avoid blocking the vents.
- Make sure butter is softened but not melted for the best dough consistency.
