Bake right on your countertop! Your air fryer can make more than just French fries. These chocolate chip cookies are small, sweet and cakey. Make the dough, roll into balls and freeze—then thaw and air-fry a few as needed for easy after-dinner treats.
| Level: | Easy |
| Total: | 1 hr 15 min |
| Active: | 40 min |
| Yield: | 1 1/2 to 2 dozen cookies |
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook’s Note)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set air fryer to 325 F. Cut out a piece of parchment that just covers the bottom of the air fryer insert.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat together both of the sugars and the butter in another bowl with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrap down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
- Scoop out slightly heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Working in batches (about 6 at a time), arrange them at least 1 inch apart on the parchment-lined insert. Air-fry until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool in the insert for a couple minutes and then transfer with a spatula to a wire rack and cool completely. Cook the remaining dough balls in batches.

Reviews
After all these years of scooping flour instead of spooning like this person suggested and having way dry baked goods. Thank you for this tip that I will forever use.
I enjoyed this recipe, doesn’t make a full batch and I’ll be able to take this this recipe camping.
