Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cream the Sugars and Butter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Egg and Vanilla:
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Prepare the Air Fryer Basket:
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop the Dough:
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough, placing each scoop onto the parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Air Fry the Cookies:
- Air fry the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool in the basket for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your deliciously crispy and gooey cookies!
Notes
- For chewier cookies, you can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before air frying.
- Feel free to customize with nuts, different types of chocolate, or other mix-ins.
