Ingredients

1 cup salted butter softened
1 cup brown sugar tightly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and beat until just combined.
Mix in 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips with a spoon or rubber spatula.
Line the air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them in the air fryer, leaving space for expansion. Work in batches based on the size of your air fryer basket.
Bake at 325°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
Let the cookies cool for 5 to 7 minutes before removing. Enjoy!

Notes

Freezer Instructions

This cookie dough can easily be frozen. For best results, shape into balls and freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag for long term storage, up to 3 months. When ready to bake, place cookie dough into the air fryer and bake for 7-8 minutes.

Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container. Cookies stay fresh for 3 to 5 days.
