Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit an air fryer basket.
- Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, and salt; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined. Add flour, beating in as much as you can. Stir in any remaining flour, chocolate chips, and pecans.
- Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto the parchment paper. Carefully transfer the parchment paper to the air fryer basket.
- Turn the air fryer to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cook until golden brown and set, about 8 minutes. Remove parchment paper to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Preheating the air fryer for this recipe is not recommended as the parchment paper will not stay in place.
- Dough can also be portioned onto parchment paper and then frozen. After the dough is frozen transfer to a resealable freezer bag, label, and freeze up to 1 month. Add 2 minutes cooking time when dough is frozen.

Simple and easy yet tasty
great cookies
These tasted great. Mine did not spread, but that might be bc I made the dough earlier this month & had to freeze it bc I wasn’t getting around to this fast enough. I did thaw before air frying, but still no spreading. Tasty little nuggets, though!
