Notes
* 1:1 gluten-free flour works best. I used King Arthur
** Air fryers can vary, so be sure to keep an eye on your cookie as it may take more or less time. I use the Ninja air fryer, which has a “bake” setting that I find works well for this recipe
Also make sure your air fryer is safe to use aluminum foil. I prefer using it over parchment paper, which I find burns easily in my air fryer
You can also bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes

What air fryer do you use?
This is the Ninja air fryer I used, which I love because it has so many settings. When it comes to the Air Fryer cookie, I used the “bake” setting (on 325 degrees). Additionally, I let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
I had to experiment a few times to get the air fry settings right, so depending on the air fryer you use you may need to do the same.
I don’t have an air fryer. Can I bake this?
Yes! Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
Can I use a different flour?
If gluten-free, I recommend using a 1:1 gluten-free flour. I used King Arthur, which worked great. My other favorite 1:1 gluten-free flours are Pillsbury and Bob’s Red Mill.
All-purpose flour or oat flour should work as well, however I have not tried this recipe with them yet.
I tried this recipe 4 times using almond flour, and although it tasted delicious, it wasn’t holding together all that well.
I would not recommend using coconut flour as it has a very different absorbency and texture, and would alter all of the other ingredients.
Can I make this cookie dairy-free?
Yes! Simply use your favorite dairy-free butter or coconut oil instead of butter, and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
Can I make this cookie vegan?
In addition to the dairy-free swaps above, you could try using a flax egg instead of egg yolk, however I have not tried this yet.
Is it safe to use aluminum foil in the air fryer?
Make sure your air fryer is safe to use aluminum foil. I prefer using it over parchment paper, which I find burns easily in my air fryer. If you are not comfortable using foil you can place it directly in your air fryer, however it may stick/be more difficult to remove.
As always, if you make this Air Fryer Cookie or any of my other recipes I’d love to know how they turned out. Please leave a review, and be sure to tag me on Instagram @Hungry.Blonde! xoxo GG

I sadly did not have success with this 😩. I used my bake setting on my air fryer, and I never could get the center to bake through. It was like raw even after being in for extra time. 325 on bake in the air fryer right? I used Cup4Cup gluten free flour. The outside for very golden.

Bummer, sorry to hear that Jessica! What air fryer do you have?
This is SO GOOD!!!! I figured out I can’t have gluten, and now after about 8 months of eating gluten free, I bought a mini airfryer! This was the first recipe I tried in my new airfryer and I have no regrets! Except that this could become problematic to have fantastic warm cookies so readily available! Lol!
I use the same King Arthur gluten free 1:1 flour! I use it for everything now and it is the best!!!

Hey Amy, I’m so glad you liked it!! 🙂
Holy moly this cookie was amazing! It was warm, doughy and delicious! Just a few adjustments I made— I used regular all-purpose flour since I don’t have any gluten-free flour. I also set my air fryer to 350° instead of 325° and noticed that after air frying my cookie for 6 minutes, the top looked good but the bottom was still goopy. So I flipped it over and let it air fry for another 5 minutes so that both sides were perfectly golden brown! I really wanted a chocolate chip walnut cookie but was too lazy to make a full batch, so I came across this recipe for 1 and it definitely satisfied my craving! And it honestly tasted even better than full batch recipes that I normally make lol. I will totally be making this one again in the future!
