Equipment

  • Oven
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • electric mixer or stand mixer
  • small cookie scoop I used a 1 tablespoon size scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • This step isn't necessary, but I like to do it since it takes just a few minutes. Preheat to 300 Degrees F. for 4-5 minutes.
  • Place butter, sugar and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl Beat until well creamed, a good 1-2 minutes. I use an electric mixer. A stand mixer is great too.
  • Pour in egg and vanilla, beating until well combined.
  • Add flour, salt and baking soda to mixing bowl of wet ingredients. Mix until dough is formed.
  • Pour in the chocolate chunks and/or chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
  • With a small 1 tablespoon size cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough into a parchment lined air fryer basket. Note. I cut a square of parchment paper to fit my air fryer. They sell liners on Amazon if you're interested too.
  • Bake cookies in air fryer at 300 degrees F. for 5-6 minutes, until slightly golden on top. Remove from air fryer and let cookies sit in hot air fryer basket for another 5 minutes to set.

Notes

  • Soften the butter ahead of time so it's ready to use.
  • Each air fryer will have a slightly different cook time. Use my instructions as a guideline and test your air fryer to see how it bakes. Adjust baking time as needed.
  • I made small cookies in the air fryer. Keep in mind that if you are making larger cookies, add a minute or two more bake time.
  • Play around with mix-ins! Use crushed Oreos, different flavored chocolate chips and even chopped candy bars.
