Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (192 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 egg
Sugars:
- ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) white sugar
Fats and Extras:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, 1 stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Create a smooth, creamy butter mixture by microwaving butter briefly until softened, then vigorously whisk in brown and white sugars until fully incorporated.
- Introduce egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a uniform, silky mixture with no visible sugar granules.
- Gently fold in flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until a cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Carefully incorporate chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Enhance cookie texture by refrigerating dough for 30 minutes to overnight, allowing flavors to meld and ingredients to settle.
- Prepare air fryer by lining basket with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Craft uniform cookie portions by scooping consistent dough balls, spacing them generously to allow proper air circulation.
- Program air fryer to 325°F, creating an ideal environment for even baking and golden edges.
- Cook cookies for 5-7 minutes, watching carefully for perfect golden-brown coloration and soft centers.
- Let cookies rest inside air fryer for 2-3 minutes to complete final cooking and stabilize structure.
- Transfer cookies to cooling rack, allowing them to reach ideal temperature for serving – warm or room temperature.
Notes
- Achieve perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookies with minimal effort using your air fryer in just minutes.
- Chilling the dough before cooking helps cookies maintain their shape and develop deeper, richer flavors.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal from the air fryer basket.
- Space cookies evenly to allow proper air circulation and even cooking for consistent golden-brown results.
- Cookies continue cooking after removal, so pull them out when edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and create a more uniform cookie texture.
