Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the flour and baking soda to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Set it aside.
- 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.
- Lower the mixer speed to medium-low. Add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix just until no yellow or brown streaks remain.
- Add the flour mixture and mix just until well incorporated. Do not over-mix.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
