AIR FRYER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Air fryer chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and quick way to satisfy your cookie cravings. With just a few minutes of cooking time, you can enjoy warm and buttery cookies straight from the air fryer. This recipe yields a soft and gooey texture, with melted chocolate chips throughout.
To make these cookies, start by combining butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat them together until smooth and creamy. Then, add in eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, and half of the flour. Mix until the dry ingredients have combined with the butter mixture. Add in the remaining flour and continue mixing until the dough is thick and creamy.
Next, stir in the chocolate chips (and optional nuts) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Shape the dough into balls using a small cookie scoop or spoon, and place them on parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Leave some space between each cookie.
Set your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the cookies for 7-8 minutes. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model. Once they turn golden brown, let them sit in the air fryer basket for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES IN THE AIR FRYER
To make classic chocolate chip cookies in the air fryer, you will need the following ingredients:

In addition to these ingredients, you will also need an air fryer and parchment paper for easy clean-up. It is important to note that when using parchment paper in the air fryer, it must be weighted down by the cookie dough to avoid any fire hazards.
