These air fryer chocolate chip cookies are incredibly delicious and moist.

The even heat distribution helps to make sure the cookies come out perfectly cooked, with a nice crunchy outside that gives way to a tender, sweet inside. 

The chocolate chips are melted and gooey, making them an irresistible treat. They’re an excellent option when you want something sweet but don’t have time to bake in the oven. 

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or even dark chocolate chips for these easy air fryer cookies.

BUTTER: You can substitute unsalted butter for salted sweet cream butter in this air fryer cookie recipe. Just add ½ teaspoon of salt to the dough.

How To Make This Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

It’s amazing how many classic recipes can easily be made in the air fryer. These cookies are made just like traditional chocolate chip cookies, but instead of heating up the oven, you will pop them in the air fryer for a quick bake.

STEP ONE: Add the flour and baking soda to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: Using a stand mixer or a medium bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 1½ to 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. 

STEP THREE: Lower the mixer speed to medium-low. Add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix just until no yellow or brown streaks remain.

STEP FOUR: Add the flour mixture and mix just until well incorporated. Do not over-mix.

STEP FIVE: Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the chocolate chip cookie dough out onto a parchment-lined small cookie sheet.

You can place the dough balls close to each other. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

STEP SIX: If you are using a Cosori air fryer, it does not need to be preheated. If you are using a different air fryer, skip to Step 8.

Remove the basket from the air fryer. Lightly spray the basket with a non-aerosol spray or with an olive oil or avocado spray. This will keep the paper liner in place while baking the cookies. 

Place a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the basket, or use a specific air fryer paper liner.

You can also line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Be sure to make small “handles” around the edge of the basket to help remove the cookies from the basket.

Place the chilled dough balls onto the paper liner about 1 inch apart. If you want a flatter cookie, press lightly on the dough ball to flatten it a bit before putting it into the basket. If you want a thicker cookie, don’t press on the ball.

STEP SEVEN: For a Cosori, set the temperature to 300°F and bake the cookies for 7 to 8 minutes.

You can check the cookies at 7 minutes to see how brown they are and cook a minute longer if needed.

Let the cookies cool for 1 to 2 minutes in the basket and then lift out with a spatula and move them to a cooling rack to continue cooling for 10 minutes. 

STEP EIGHT: If you are using a different air fryer brand, preheat the air fryer to 325°F. 

If you didn’t scoop the dough balls before chilling, use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough. Roll the dough into a ball.

Very gently depress the cookies to flatten the dough ball slightly. 

Space the cookies 1½ inches apart in the air fryer basket. Bake cookies for 6 to 7 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Remove the basket from the air fryer. Use the foil “handles” and carefully remove the cookies from the basket (if you lined your basket with foil).

Allow the cookies to rest on the foil for 3 to 4 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough balls. 

How To Serve

These delicious cookies are best served warm with a glass of cold milk or some vanilla ice cream. 

Alternatively, they can be enjoyed plain or topped with a scoop of your favorite nut butter.

For an extra special treat, why not try drizzling the cookies with hot fudge sauce or caramel sauce?

Storage

ON THE COUNTER: Store any leftover homemade air fryer cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Allow the dough to thaw overnight before scooping and baking. You can also roll the dough into a “log” before freezing.

That way, you can simply slice the cookie dough and bake it as instructed above.

Air fryer chocolate chip cookies are an easy and delicious way to indulge in your favorite classic cookie with all the crunchy texture of a traditionally-baked cookie. Enjoy these cookies anytime you want a treat – they make great snacks, desserts, or even breakfast!

Notes

• Make sure to check your air fryer manual for cooking time guidelines for your specific model of air fryer, as times and temperatures vary depending on the type of air fryer you have.
• You can also just cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, scooping the cookie dough balls after the chilling time.
• You can use parchment paper in the basket of the air fryer. Be sure to poke holes in the parchment paper and be sure the cookie dough is evenly spaced on the parchment paper to weigh it down, or the parchment paper can blow around, posing a fire risk.
