Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The recipe for Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies begins by creaming softened butter with brown sugar, then mixing in egg and vanilla before adding flour, baking soda, and salt. Chocolate chips are folded into the dough, which is portioned into tablespoon-sized balls. After preheating the air fryer to 350°F, the dough balls are arranged spaced on parchment paper-lined basket, then pressed down slightly to help them flatten during cooking.
Cookies bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the tops are golden brown, resulting in a cookie with tender middle and a slight crust on edges. Because air fryers do not encourage dough spreading, pressing the dough balls beforehand is necessary. The recipe also allows adding chopped walnuts or pecans for additional crunch, and vegan alternatives like soy butter and vegan chocolate chips can be used without issues.
This approach saves oven time and energy and makes small batches quickly. It's important to avoid preheating the air fryer with parchment inside to prevent safety hazards. The cookies taste best fresh but can be stored and enjoyed as a convenient treat or snack.
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the sugar, butter, egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Then mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Preheat your air fryer by setting it to 350 and allowing it to warm for about 3 minutes while you form your cookie dough balls.
- Using a small cookie scoop, form Tablespoon sized dough balls.
- When the air fryer is preheated, line the basket with a layer of parchment paper and place dough balls evenly apart.
- Press down lightly on the dough balls to flatten slightly.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the tops start to turn golden brown.
Notes
- Adding ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans adds texture and flavor to these cookies.
- Vegan versions work well using soy butter and vegan chocolate chips.
- Flatten dough balls before air frying to help cookies spread, since they won't spread naturally in the air fryer.
- Use small dough balls to ensure cookies cook through without raw centers.
- Do not preheat the air fryer with parchment paper inside to avoid it lifting and contacting the heating element.
