Tips for making air fryer chocolate chip cookies:

  • Melt the butter before using but don’t use hot butter. Let it cool if you’ve heated the butter for a few seconds before beating because hot butter doesn’t give the creamy texture.
  • You need to flatten the cookie dough before baking it in the air fryer. Because the air fryer works differently than the oven.
  • If you prefer gluten-free cookies, replace the flour with a gluten-free flour such as oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, and cornflour. You should add a tablespoon of butter to the batter and refrigerate the dough for an hour before baking.
  • Leave enough space between the cookies for the best result.
  • The air fryer chocolate chip cookies dough might get stuck on the basket-like shown in the picture below if you’re not using parchment paper. But you can take that off easily by scratching the bottom of the air fryer.air fryer chocolate chip cookies easy

Storage

  • You can store the baked cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • You can even store the leftover dough in the freeze by putting the dough in a zip-lock bag. You need to defrost the dough in the refrigerator before baking it in the air fryer.

Here are some of the frequently asked questions.

Why use room temperature egg?

Room temperature egg is used in this recipe because they mix better in the batter.

How long to cook chocolate chip cookies in air fryer?

The air fryer chocolate chip cookies cook time is 12-15 minutes at 160C/320F. The cooking time may vary according to the thickness and type of air fryer you use. You can adjust the time accordingly.

How to reheat the cookies?

Reheating the air fryer chocolate chip cookies is insanely easy. Just place the leftover cookies in the air fryer basket at 160C/320F for 3-4 minutes or until the cookies are warm.

Why do my chocolate chip cookies get hard?

Your chocolate chip cookies get hard because the dough is overdone. If you mix the batter more after adding the flour the gluten is formed. This is the reason for the hard cookies.

How can I make my cookies fluffier instead of flat?

For making fluffier cookies the butter should not be too hot or frozen while mixing. It should be just melted which gives you the creamy texture while beating.
Put the dough in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before baking for fluffy cookies.

Can I use parchment paper and aluminum foil in air fryer?

Yes, you can use parchment paper and aluminum foil in the air fryer. For baking, I recommend you use parchment paper that has a hole in it.

This helps in circulating the hot air in the air fryer evenly rather than aluminum foil. Check with the manual of your air fryer before using any of these.
