Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment paper-lined tray. You can also flatten them slightly if you prefer a flatter cookie.
- Air Fry the Cookies: Place the tray with the cookie dough into the preheated air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Make sure there’s enough space between each cookie.
- Air Fry: Air fry the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning. The cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model, so adjust as needed.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once done, remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so be patient before digging in. Enjoy your warm, gooey air fryer chocolate chip cookies!
