- Total Time: 18 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2 minutes with a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Continue to mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers (with holes) or trim a piece to fit, leaving some space for air to flow around the edges.
- Scoop about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them in the air fryer basket, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball. You will likely need to cook these in batches. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the basket from the air fryer. Let the cookies sit in the basket for 2-3 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
