Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
2. Shape the Cookies:
1. Line the air fryer basket with baking paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten them slightly before placing them in the air fryer.
3. Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to bake in batches.
3. Air Fry the Cookies:
1. Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for 2-3 minutes.
2. Air fry the cookies for 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
3. Allow the cookies to cool in the air fryer basket for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These quick and easy Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion!
Cooking Tips:
Don’t overcrowd the basket: Bake in batches if needed to allow the cookies to cook evenly.
Slightly underbake for a chewy centre: Cookies will continue to set as they cool, so if you love soft cookies, remove them as soon as the edges turn golden.
Chilling the dough: If time allows, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even richer flavours and better texture.
Storage Advice:
Room Temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing Cookie Dough: Shape the dough into balls and freeze them on a tray before transferring them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
Reheating: Warm cookies in the air fryer at 140°C (285°F) for 2-3 minutes to restore their softness.
