Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to portion the dough and place 4 cookies in the air fryer basket.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a cup.
Air fry at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft.
Remove cookies carefully and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve these Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies warm right out of the air fryer for the ultimate gooey texture. Pair them with a glass of cold milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an indulgent dessert. For storing, let the cookies cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They’ll stay soft and chewy for up to 4 days at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months, or freeze unbaked dough balls and air fry later—just add an extra minute to the cook time.
