There are arguments about whether you need to pierce holes it the paper, but I did. To bake these air fryer cookies in your air fryer, you have to make sure your air fryer basket is set up correctly, and place a circle of parchment paper on the base. Lower temps for longer, high temps for shorter, air frying from frozen and so on!! It was a tasty experiment. The testing process resulted in eating far too many cookies, if there is such a thing, but it was worth it. Many of the air fryers out there have different functions, but I purposely just used the basic air fryer setting for the cookies so that they were proper air fryer cookies! This recipe has been tested in a few different air fryers, but just keep an eye as you go obviously! So I have a Ninja Air Fryer, but they all do the same sort of thing.

I use a 5cm cookie scoop for my cookies, and they weigh about 50-60g each. The cookie dough freezes perfectly once scooped into the portions. You can also freeze the rest of the cookie dough. Bake in batches, or bake as many as you want to eat fresh, and refrigerate there rest of the cookie dough for up to 48 hours. With the air fryer I have, you can only fit 3 in the basket at once, and as the cookie dough makes about 15 cookies, you can make a choice. The cookies don’t necessarily need chilling before baking, but it can help keep them in a better shape. So as these cookies are being baked into an air fryer, the prep is slightly different.

Don’t worry though, if you don’t have an electric mixer, you can just use a bowl and spoon just make sure to add flour slowly and beat like crazy so it mixes okay. I often make my cookie doughs in my stand mixer, but when I made this I used an electric hand mixer. Chocolate – All the chocolate chips… I usually recommend 100-300g worth of chocolate chips, and you can use any flavour!.Bicarb is a classic addition as the raising agent for cookies! Raising agents – For these, I use bicarbonate of soda.I do also use cornflour as it adds a nice texture, but you can remove it and add 25g more flour. Flour – Always use plain flour in your cookies!! You don’t want self raising flour as it will create a cake like cookie.Vanilla – Optional, but adds a delicious flavour.Egg – Easy standard egg – I tend to use medium eggs in my bakes, but you can use one large egg instead of.

You can use all of one or the other though, you just want the same total weight. Sugar– As always, I like to use a mix of light brown soft sugar and white granulated sugar for my basic cookie dough.Butter – So to reduce the cost of the bake, you can use a baking spread or a margarine for these cookies – but if you prefer, you can still use unsalted butter.So this cookie dough is the same base cookie dough as my New York City cookies, and a lot of my cookie bars, because it really is just that good of a cookie dough. These are super easy to make, super easy to bake, and they are DELICIOUS!
