Cooking with my Air Fryer | Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe.

If there's one snack that this house never runs out of (aside from Fuji apples and yogurt drinks), it has got to be cookies. Whether it's inside the fridge, in the cookie jar, or somewhere in the pantry, there has got to be cookies at my house almost all the time. And now that I have learned how to bake them myself, there's no way that this house will run out of Yue's favorite snack henceforth.

I've made cookies from scratch a few times since I got my air fryer, and after a few tweaks in the ingredients and some adjustments in the temperature, I can finally say that I have nailed this thing. Here's how I made my Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Procedure:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 170° Celsius.

2. Heat the butter in a small skillet until about half of it is melted. Turn off the heat and continue whisking the butter until it is melted entirely. Let the butter cool for about 3-5 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, mix the butter with the white and brown sugar until well-combined.

4. Stir in the egg and vanilla until incorporated.

5. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

6. Mix the dough until just combined. Do not overmix!

7. Fold in the chocolate chips.

8. Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of the dough and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

9. Set your air fryer to Bake mode and bake at 170°C for 10 minutes. Switch to Convection Broil for 3-5 minutes to make the cookies look more brown. (Kindly make adjustments to the temperature settings if you're using a conventional oven.)

Choose your mix-ins! :)

Notes:

I use unsalted butter for baking. You may use salted butter if you prefer.

You may use other variants of chocolate chips. You can use dark, semisweet, white chocolate chips, or any combination of these types.

You may also use other mix-ins such as chopped peanuts, M&M's, or chopped chocolate bars.
