PRO TIPS for the Best Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
- Room temperature ingredients, especially unsalted butter and a large egg, help ensure even mixing.
- Use air fryer parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking to the basket. Trust me, you don’t want to skip this step. If using a baking tray, this can be omitted.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; bake 3-4 cookie dough balls in small batches for even cooking.
- Leave the cookies on the parchment paper for 5 – 10 minutes to cool before removing them from the air fryer basket. This allows the cookies to solidify properly.
- Depending on your preference, experiment with different sizes using a cookie scoop for smaller or larger cookies.
- Add a vanilla extract or mix milk chocolate chips and chunks for an extra flavor boost.
