Ingredients
From Scratch:
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter melted and cooled
- ⅓ cup (65g) brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup (96g) flour
- ½ cup (56g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Pre-Made Dough:
- 8 ounces (200g) cookie dough
- ⅛ cup (19g) chocolate chips optional
Instructions
To Make From Scratch:
- Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla, whisking to combine.
- Sift baking soda and flour, add to the wet ingredients, and mix just until no large lumps remain.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks until fully incorporated.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out 6 cookie dough balls. Place them at least 2-inches a part in the air fryer basket ( don’t overcrowd!).
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer cookies to a baking rack to cool. Repeat steps to use up any remaining cookie dough.
To Use Pre-made Dough:
- Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C.
- Split the dough into 8 small cookies or 4 large cookies.
- Press the extra chocolate chips into the cookies, if using.
- Line the air fryer basket or tray with air fryer parchment paper, then place cookies on paper, leaving space between cookies as they will spread.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.
- Place cookies on a wire rack to cool, then serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on the top of the cookie dough in the Air Fryer before baking, so you get the gooey melted chocolate look.
- You can make this recipe with slice and bake cookie dough instead of a mix.
- You might need to bake these in 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Space the cookies evenly on the parchment paper so it does not bunch up when baking.
- If you don't have air fryer parchment paper then use normal parchment paper that you poke holes in before baking.
- Since Air Fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, I recommend starting with less time, checking for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
