Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base of the cookie, giving it structure and texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda A leavening agent that helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor, balancing the sweetness of the chocolate.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; make sure it’s softened to room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and contributes to the cookie’s texture.
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar Adds depth of flavor and moisture, resulting in a chewier cookie.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binding agent, helping to hold the cookie dough together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the chocolate.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips The star ingredient, bringing that beloved chocolatey goodness to every bite.

Instructions

  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  • Transfer the cookie dough portions into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
