Description
Delicious and easy-to-make chocolate chip cookies using an air fryer for a perfect treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 115 g unsalted butter, softened
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 150 g granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla powder (optional)
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 320 g flour, plain / all purpose
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- ½ tsp salt
- 300 g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
Instructions
- Measure the softened butter and sugars into your mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together until the eggs are incorporated. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Mix in the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt until the dough comes together.
- Add 2/3 of the chocolate chips and beat them into the cookie dough. Chill for 30 minutes – 1 hour or overnight.
- Line the air fryer with baking liner or parchment paper. Form 4 balls of cookie dough (approx. 2 tbsp each) and place into the air fryer basket, spaced apart. Add extra chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks) on top of the cookie dough.
- Air Fry for 10 minutes at 160C (325F) or until the cookies start coloring at the edges. The cookies will still be quite soft and doughy at this stage.
- Take the basket out of the Air Fryer and leave the cookies in the basket for five minutes before carefully transferring onto a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
- Repeat with the remaining batter or keep it in the fridge for another day. Alternatively, freeze the cookies on a tray prior to baking and cook straight from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature eggs and butter.
- Chilling the dough is important for texture and flavor.
- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for variation.
