Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg (room temperature if possible)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-20 seconds until just beginning to melt. Add the brown sugar and white sugar, then beat together until fully combined and creamy.
  2. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing for another 30 seconds to ensure the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until the dough is fully combined, ensuring no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Chill Dough (Optional): Place the dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight to help firm it up, making it easier to handle and improving texture (this step can be skipped if time is limited).
  5. Prepare Air Fryer: Line the air fryer racks or basket with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the parchment-lined basket, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart to allow for spreading. Depending on the size of your air fryer, fit 2 to 4 cookies per batch.
  6. Air Fry Cookies: Set the air fryer temperature to 325°F (163°C). Cook the cookies for 5-7 minutes until they become golden brown and cooked through. Timing depends on the size of the dough balls and your specific air fryer model.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to rest in the air fryer basket for 2-3 minutes after cooking to set before carefully removing them to a cooling rack or plate. Enjoy warm or cooled.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is optional but recommended for better texture and easier handling.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Cook in batches as necessary depending on air fryer size to ensure even cooking and proper spacing.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on air fryer wattage and cookie size.
  • Room temperature egg helps achieve a smoother dough consistency.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5-7 minutes per batch
