Chocolate chip cookies are a timeless classic. With the air fryer, you can prepare them quickly and healthily, achieving a crispy exterior and a soft interior.

Below is a detailed recipe to enjoy these delicious cookies at home.

Ingredients:

  • 180 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 125 grams of sugar
  • 120 grams of butter at room temperature
  • 80 grams of chocolate chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Preparation:

  1. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until you obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the previous mixture, beating until all ingredients are well integrated.
  3. Dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until you obtain a uniform dough.
  5. Add the chocolate chips: Add the chocolate chips and gently mix to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Form the cookies: Using a spoon, take portions of dough and form balls the size of a walnut. Slightly flatten them to give them a cookie shape.
  7. Prepare the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for 5 minutes. Place parchment paper in the basket to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  8. Cooking: Place the cookies in the basket, leaving space between them to allow for expansion. Cook at 160°C (320°F) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  9. Cooling: Remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a rack before serving.

Tips:

  • Variations: You can add chopped nuts or substitute the chocolate chips with white or milk chocolate according to your preference.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
  • Freezing: If you want to prepare the dough in advance, you can freeze it in portions and cook the cookies directly from the freezer, increasing the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy these freshly made chocolate chip cookies, perfect to accompany a glass of milk or coffee.
