Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies
Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies are crispy on the outside, and soft & chewy on the inside. These delicious cookies and are cooked in the air fryer in under 10 minutes!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-20 seconds or just until the butter begins to melt. Add the brown and white sugars and beat until fully combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla and beat for another 30 seconds. Stir in remaining ingredients until fully combined.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to overnight. Line the air fryer racks with parchment paper. Scoop 2-tablespoon dough balls into the air fryer basket, about 1.5 inches apart. You should be able to fit 2-3 depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air Fryer at 310 F degrees F for 5-7 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Allow cookies to rest 2-3 minutes in the air fryer before removing.
Notes
- Liners: Unlike other air fried foods that do not have to have a liner to bake, cookies do. You can use parchment liners or you can use aluminum foil. I have found that using a liner that is smaller than the basket and keeping the cookies away from the edges works the best.
- Flattening the Cookies: Unlike in an oven, the cookies do not tend to spread in the air fryer. Pressing them flat with the bottom of a glass helps the cookies have that spread out shape. It will also help the cookies cook evenly.
- Leave Space: Do not overcrowd your basket. Depending on the size of your basket expect to only make 4-5 cookies at a time.
- Know Your Air Fryer: It may take a batch or two to get the temperature and timing down, but I can tell you that they will still cook faster than in the oven.
