  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • First start by preheating the air fryer to 300F.

  • Add in the four. salt, and the baking soda and mix just until the dry mixture disappears. Add in the chocolate chips and gently fold until combined.

  • Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out 8 equal cookie dough balls. Set 3-4 cookie dough balls in the air fryer basket with enough space between each one ( as shown in the photo) Bake the cookies for 6 minutes at 300F, turn off when they're done baking and let them rest for 5 minutes. Gently remove the cookies from the air fryer basket and place on a cooling rack. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.

Notes

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. Just make sure to leave enough room between the cookies in the air fryer so they bake properly. 
You might have to bake your cookies in separate batches, depending how large your air fryer is.
