The best Air Fryer Cookie For One features a golden-brown, crispy exterior and a gooey center filled with chocolate chips. Inspired by the pizookie and thick Levain cookies, but without eggs!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup plant milk oat milk, soy milk, almond milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of sea salt
- ½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips can use a variety of dark and semi-sweet, see notes
Instructions
-
Cream the softened vegan butter and sugars together with a spoon in a small bowl.
-
Add the remaining ingredients and mix to form a thick dough. The dough will start out crumbly, but continue mixing until the flour is fully incorporated with the butter and milk.
-
Form the cookie dough into a disk about 4.5″ in diameter and place it on a small piece of parchment paper inside the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Yield: 1 air fryer cookie, about 4.5” in diameter
Butter Note: It’s easiest to cream the butter and sugar if it has sat out at room temperature for about 15 minutes. But I often find myself in a pinch for time and use butter straight out of the fridge. It just takes a bit of extra arm work. Whatever you do, don’t melt the butter in the microwave!
Parchment Paper: Cut out a sheet of parchment to about 7” by 7” so it’s easy to grab onto the cookie to lift it in and out of the air fryer. You could also use an air fryer liner.
Make Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead of time. Then shape it into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and store it in a freezer bag. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. When you’re ready for a treat, place the dough directly into the air fryer (no need to thaw).
Storing: If you have any cookie leftover, store it in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
To Preheat or Not? With the Cosori air fryer, I have never had to preheat before baking anything. If you know that your air fryer does not get up to heat very fast, preheat; otherwise, it’s unnecessary.
