Equipment

Air fryer with 6-quart basket

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
½ cup light brown sugar (110g)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (180g)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through, until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again.
Add the flour, then sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over top. Mix on low speed until no dry bits of flour remain, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand with a spatula.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (about 2½ tablespoons each) and roll into balls.
Preheat the air fryer to 300°F if your model requires it.
Line the basket of an air fryer with parchment paper (cut to fit the basket if you don’t have an air fryer liner). Working in batches, place 4 pieces of dough in the basket, equally spaced.
Air fry for 14 minutes at 300°F. Remove the basket from the air fryer and let the cookies cool for 4 minutes on the parchment paper, before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Continue cooking the rest of the dough balls.

Notes

Use a room-temperature egg. It will incorporate into the softened butter much better than an egg straight out of the refrigerator.
Chilling and freezing instructions: If you don’t want to bake the whole batch of cookies immediately, you can cover and refrigerate the cookie dough balls for up to 72 hours. Alternatively, freeze them on a cookie sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Air fry from frozen.
To enhance the flavor: Sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt once they are finished baking.
