• 1/3 cup of sugar
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

How to Make Air Fryer Cookies

Step 1:

Add butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl. Cream until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Step 2:

Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice into the mixture, then mix until light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Step 3:

In a measuring cup, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix, then pour into the batter. Mix all the ingredients until just combined for about 45 seconds. Do not overmix it.

Step 4:

Stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 5:

Line your air fryer with foil and make a little handle on the sides so you can easily lift it up when done baking. Add scoops of the cookie dough to the lined air fryer basket. Make sure to leave a space between the cookies about 1.5 to 2 inches. Lightly press the cookie dough down.

Step 6:

Air fry the cookies at 300F for about 6 to 8 minutes. Once done baking, remove the foil with the cookies from the basket and let them cool for about 5 minutes. After that, move the cookies to the cooling rack and cool for 5 to 10 minutes more.
