This air fryer cookie for one recipe is sized perfectly for the air fryer. With this recipe, you will get one big chocolate chip cookie. Big enough to share, but so good that you won’t want to!
How often do you get a craving for a cookie, but don’t need to cook a whole batch? Daily, you say? I thought so!
This recipe is perfect for that situation. It makes one big cookie and by doing it in the air fryer you don’t have to heat up your whole kitchen, or make an entire batch!
The cookie will have a soft, gooey inside and a slightly crisp outside. These are like a giant bakery-style cookie and you won’t be able to resist it!
If you are in fact looking to cook a whole batch, maybe try out our air fryer peanut butter cookies too!

“This is way too good! Way too easy.
Share? I don’t think so.”
Ingredient Notes:
“Wet” ingredients- Check your cabinets to make sure you have granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla.
“Dry” ingredients- The only dry ingredients are flour, baking soda, and salt.
The additions- This is the chocolate chips. Almost everyone uses semi-sweet, because that’s what they grew up with. That is fine if it is your favorite. But if you can be persuaded, I encourage you to try milk chocolate chips instead. They are a little sweeter, melt a little differently, and just help the recipe a little!
How to Air Fry a Cookie:
- Add melted butter, brown sugar, and sugar to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Add an egg yolk and vanilla and stir again.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl to make a dough.
- Stir in plenty of chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into a large ball and then flatten.
- Place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket and put the cookie dough in the center of the parchment paper.
- Cook for five minutes.
Recipe Tips!
If you need a cookie that you can dip into a cup of milk, you can just split the dough ball into two cookies. Cook for 4 minutes if you have two smaller cookies.
Milk chocolate chips are my favorite, but you can use peanut butter, white chocolate, or semi-sweet also!
You can add M&M’s to the cookie, or use them to replace the chocolate chips. Get creative and have fun!

I followed the recipe perfectly and when i put it in to cook it was like a gel and after it cooked, it looked fully cooked if not overcooked but when i went to eat it it was raw and runny on the inside, so i put it back in to cook for another 4 minutes and it looked done but yet again i went to eat it and the inside was thick and gummy. so i was done trying that way so i had to tear it apart so the gummy stuff was on the outside and it was spread out and i cooked it again but for 7 minutes and this time it was fully cooked but the flavor was awful it tasted plain and bland and when i put it in my mouth it made me want to puke and my brain just said “WTF is this?!!”
-10000000/10 recommend make at your own risk

Sorry to hear this didn’t work out for you. It works great for me and has for many others as well. My best guess is that it’s different models of air fryers cooking a bit differently or a difference in measurements. Did you wait to let the cookie cool as instructed? Because it finishes cooking as it cools as well.
Lola says
I waited 10 minutes for it to cool!! This was not my first time baking cookies. I am a professional baker and the recipe is what was wrong because I altered almost every thing of this recipe and changed the temperature and cook time and it ended up as an actual FULLY COOKED cookie.
Garth Cassidy says
Awesome cookie. I added a little bit more flour… But I think when you make a recipe… You have to make adjustments to make sure the dough is right. Everything I added was spot onto your recipe turned out how do I add a picture so you can see ha ha ha

Hi Garth! I’m so glad you liked the recipe! You can’t upload photos here unfortunately, but you can always share on social and tag us! 🙂
Henze says
Meine Airfryer hat nicht so hohe Temperatur welche kann ich dann nehmen? Antwort wäre Nett
Karly Campbell says
Hi Henze! We’re using Fahrenheit. You’ll likely want to convert to celsius, which would be 176 degrees. 🙂
Prim says
I had to bake mine for 30 mins! After the first 5 the outside looked done but the inside was completely raw
Karly Campbell says
Oh gosh, I would think any cookie would be burnt after 30 minutes! Did you leave them to cool after the 5 minute mark to finish setting up? They are meant to be gooey inside either way.
lola says
by gooey do you mean COMPLETELY RAW AND GUMMY, mine did the exact same thing!! Serious changes to your recipe need to be made!!
Nat says
Is there something that could be substituted for the egg yolk??
Karly Campbell says
I haven’t tested this with anything else, but lots of people do flax eggs or silken tofu in place of eggs when baking. There are a lot of ideas out there that you could try, but none that I can personally recommend.
Jeanette Strech says
First time of making this. It did come out perfect after a change or two. I cooked it at 325 for 4 minute. The top cooked perfectly but the bottom did not so I flipped it over on the parchment paper and cooked it for another 2 minutes. I like my cookie to be barely cooked so it was perfect.
