- Total Time: 18 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed 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
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes with a hand mixer or a whisk.
- Add the egg and the vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat again until the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is smooth.
- Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Using a spatula or a large spoon, gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper. Make sure the paper is cut slightly smaller than the basket to allow air to circulate around the edges.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them in the basket, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Carefully remove the basket and let the cookies sit inside for 2 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling and firming up before serving.
