What you need to make classic chocolate chip cookies in the air fryer
When we have a craving for cookies, I use my Cosori air fryer. Because I use special parchment paper, pre-cut with holes makes clean up easy. ***Do not use air fryer with just parchment paper by itself. It must be weighted down by the cookie dough, or it can be a fire hazard!***
Besides an air fryer and parchment paper, the ingredients you need to make this chocolate chip cookie recipe, you will need:
- Unsalted butter-softened
- Granulated Sugar
- Brown sugar
- Large Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- All purpose flour
- Salt
- Baking soda
- Milk Chocolate Chips-white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chocolate candies, and chopped pecans or walnuts can also be added. We added Reese's Pieces Candies to our Air Fryer Sugar Cookies and they were delicious!
How to Air Fry Cookies
-
In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat together until smooth and creamy.
-
Next, add in the eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and half of the flour. Mix until the dry ingredients have combined with the butter mixture.
-
Add in the remaining flour and mix on medium speed until the cookie dough is thick and creamy. Once the dough is mixed, stir in the chocolate chips, and optional nuts, until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to shape the dough into balls. Place the dough balls into the air fryer basket on top of the piece of parchment paper. Leave about an inch in between each cookie.
-
Air Fry at 300 degrees F for 7-8 minutes. When cookies are golden brown, let them sit in the air fryer basket for an additional 1 to 2 minutes so they can set.
-
Remove cookies from air fryer and let them continue to cool on a wire rack.
-
Because air fryers are not the same, cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer. For larger cookies, you may need to add a couple of minutes to cook time.
