Cream butter and sugar for air fryer chocolate chip cookies. Prepare a stand mixer or hand mixer. To a large mixing bowl, add softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with an electronic mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, until blended, smooth and fluffy.
Add wet and dry ingredients to cook cookie batter. Add eggs, extract, and salt. Beat again on medium-high speed for 20 seconds to combine. Add all of the baking soda and about ¼ of the flour into the air fryer chocolate chip cookie batter. Mix on medium-high for 20 seconds. Scrape down dough from edges of the bowl. Add the rest of the flour in the same increments, mixing 20 seconds in between, scraping down dough as you go, until all the flour has been added. Reserve on the side, 2 tbsp chocolate chips or crushed chocolate bar. Add the rest of the chocolate chips to the cookie batter and gently fold in with a large spoon or spatula.
Prepare air fryer for chocolate chip cookies. Remove air fryer basket and preheat the air fryer to 350ºF for 5 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the size of the bottom of the air fryer basket or the size of the cookie sheet if you’re using an oven style air fryer for chocolate chip cookies.
Make balls of cookie dough. You will have to air fry cookies in batches, or refrigerate or freeze the rest to bake them later. I recommend creating balls of dough whether or not you’re using them now. Divide the chocolate chip cookie batter into 2 tbsp balls. Don’t overwork them, because you will add them to the air fryer basket and smoosh them with your hands into the shape of a round disk / cookie. Spraying your fingers with cooking spray can help move the balls of dough with ease. The cookies will expand slightly in size, so only add 4 cookies to a standard size air fryer basket. Make sure they have 1-2” of space in between. Add a little of the reserved chocolate to the top of the cookies.
Air fry chocolate chip cookies. After much recipe testing, I noticed and want to inform you that if the cookies are even slightly larger than 2 tbsp each, or touch during the cooking process, it will change the cooking time needed for chocolate chip air fryer cookies. Depending on your model of air fryer and size of cookies, you will need between 5-7 minutes of air frying time. Bake for 6 minutes at 350ºF if you’re using the Phillips XXL Air Fryer like mine. After they bake, let cookies sit in the air fryer for another 1 minute. Then, use a spatulata to transfer the cookies to a baking rack to cool and set for 5 minutes. Then enjoy!

Notes
Although it will be very difficult not to start nibbling them, when you take them out of the basket, you’ll notice the cookies are very, very soft, and if you bump them or bend them with a spatula, it will change the shape. They are perfect after setting for a few minutes.If your chocolate chip cookies set and for some reason the bottom looks raw, just pop ‘em back in the air fryer for 2 minutes. (I know, TMI but I’m really into the specifics of this cookie recipe because these are too amazing not to get right!).See the recipe: https://sipbitego.com/air-fryer-chocolate-chip-cookiesSee the recipe video for air fryer chocolate chip cookies on YouTube.
