Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon fine salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Set air fryer to 325 F. Cut out a piece of parchment that just covers the bottom of the air fryer insert.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.  
  3. Beat together both of the sugars and the butter in another bowl with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrap down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.  
  4. Scoop out slightly heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Working in batches (about 6 at a time), arrange them at least 1 inch apart on the parchment-lined insert. Air-fry until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool in the insert for a couple minutes and then transfer with a spatula to a wire rack and cool completely. Cook the remaining dough balls in batches.  

Cook’s Note

When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
