📋Ingredients
To make chocolate chip cookies in air fryer, you need only these five ingredients:
Butter adds richness and helps give the cookies their delicious flavour. I use salted butter to balance out the sweetness.
Sugar adds sweetness and helps give the cookies their texture. I use raw sugar in this recipe for a deliciously crunchy finish.
Egg helps bind the ingredients together.
Plain flour forms the base of the cookie dough.
Chocolate chips add little pockets of sweetness to every bite. I use milk chocolate bits in this recipe for a delicious chocolate flavour and a classic chocolate chip cookie look.

👩🍳How to make air fryer chocolate chip cookies?
Start by mixing the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the egg and whisk until frothy.
Next, add the all-purpose flour.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Combine well to make a dough.
Divide the dough into portions and shape them into balls. Place them on a lined air fryer tray, leaving enough room between each cookie.
Add a few extra chocolate chips on top if required. Gently press down the dough balls slightly with your fingertips so they spread nicely as they bake.
Chill the shaped cookies in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes. Place the cookie tray inside and bake at 160°C for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden colour.
Once done, switch off the air fryer and let the cookies sit inside for another 5 minutes to help them finish setting without over‑baking.
Transfer the warm chocolate chip cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to firm up slightly.
Enjoy them warm or keep some aside for those little sweet cravings that pop up at odd hours.
Imp: The number of cookies you get and the baking time may vary depending on the size of the cookies and your air fryer model. Check the cookies towards the end of the cooking time.
❄️Storage
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. For the best quality, enjoy them within a few days.
If you prefer to prepare ahead, you can also make the dough in advance and refrigerate it in a covered container. Allow for possible changes in baking time if the dough is chilled.
🥄Serving Suggestions
These crunchy chocolate chip cookies are delicious on their own, but pairing them with a refreshing drink makes snack time even more enjoyable. Here are a few ideas to try:
Serve these cookies with a chilled mint cooler, such as strawberry mint cooler or watermelon mint cooler, for a refreshing combination.
Milk and chocolate chip cookies are a timeless combination, especially for an after-school snack.
Pair your cookies with a creamy apple banana smoothie for a satisfying snack.
Crush them and sprinkle them over a strawberry whipped cream cup for added crunch and flavor.

📝Tips
Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding it to the mixture.
Leave enough space between the cookies to allow them to spread during baking.
Chill the shaped cookies for 15 minutes before air frying.
If the dough doesn't come together, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk as needed.
