Air Fryer Cookies (Print Version)

Quick chocolate chip cookies that come out soft and gooey, made fast with your air fryer. Perfect for beating those homemade cookie cravings without using the oven.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Cookies

01 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, unsalted
05 - 1 egg, preferably at room temp
06 - 1 1/2 cups regular flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet

# Directions:

01 - Pop the butter into a microwavable bowl and warm it up for 10-20 seconds, just enough to start melting. Throw in the brown and white sugars, then mix until smooth. Crack in the egg and mix it in with the vanilla for another half-minute. Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips in, blending everything well.
02 - Stick the dough in the fridge for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight if you want. It’s optional but helps stop them from spreading too much later on.
03 - Grab some parchment paper and place it on the air fryer racks. Scoop two tablespoons of dough for each ball, leaving about an inch and a half between them. Depending on the size of your fryer, you’ll probably fit 2-4 cookies in one go.
04 - Bake cookies at 325°F for about 5 to 7 minutes, just until they look golden and done. Let them cool right in the fryer for another 2 to 3 minutes before taking them out.
05 - Repeat the process until all the dough’s used up and you’ve baked every cookie.

# Notes:

01 - Don’t worry if cookies seem soft when they come out of the air fryer—they’ll get firmer once they cool down.
