Air Fryer Cookie Dough
Enjoy warm, gooey cookies with minimal effort using your air fryer. Perfect for small batches, this method is quick, energy-efficient, and delivers a delightful cookie experience every time.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Roll into balls and flatten slightly.
Prepare the Basket:
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Cook the Cookies:
- Place the cookie dough balls in the basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, checking halfway through. Rotate or flip the cookies for even cooking if needed.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cookies when edges are golden but centers appear slightly underdone. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the basket to finish setting.
Notes
- For extra gooey cookies, undercook slightly and let them cool outside the air fryer.
- Experiment with mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or white chocolate chips for variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
