But what if you could recreate those classic treats whenever you wanted in your kitchen? If that thought tantalizes your taste buds, this post is for you! In it, we will be giving step-by-step instructions on making copycat air fryer Chick-fil-A cookies using simple ingredients and best of all; they can be cooked quickly in a matter of minutes thanks to the power of the air fryer! So fire up those ovens (or Air Fryers!) because our delicious homemade version awaits!

Step One: Prepare The Cookie Batter

Mix the butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg in a large bowl. After it’s thoroughly mixed, (it should be a thick, creamy texture) add in the flour. Then, gradually add the salt and baking powder. When you’re finished mixing all of the ingredients together, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step Two: Prepare The Air Fryer

When you’re ready to make the cookies, remove the dough from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature while you preheat the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 315 degrees. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Grease 4-6 muffin rings very lightly with vegetable oil. Place the muffin rings (or silicone muffin liners) in the basket on top of the parchment paper.

Step Three: Air Fry The Cookies

Roll the dough into balls about two inches thick. Flatten the balls and top with additional chocolate chips. Place them inside the greased muffin rings. Air-fry for about 10 minutes.

Step Four: Serving

Cookies will be thick, golden brown, and soft in the middle. Allow cookies to sit and cool right in the rings for about ten minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack until they’re completely cooled.

Tips For Making Cookies In Air Fryer

Air fryers are a great way to make quick, delicious, and healthier cookies than traditional baking methods. Here are some tips for making cookies in an air fryer:

Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the cookie dough. This will ensure that your cookies cook evenly.
Keep the cookie dough portions small. To avoid uneven cooking, each portion should be no more significant than two tablespoons.
Grease the air fryer basket before placing the cookie dough onto it. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier afterward.
Monitor the cookies closely while they are in the air fryer. The cooking time depends on their thickness, so keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking settings as needed.
Once the cookies are finished baking, let them cool completely before removing them from the basket. This will help prevent them from sticking or breaking apart.

By following these tips for making cookies in an air fryer, you can enjoy delicious, healthier treats without spending too much time or effort. Have fun and enjoy your homemade cookies!

How To Store Leftover Cookies

It’s essential to store your leftover cookies in an airtight container. If you store them for short-term use, like a few days, then a plastic or glass container is your best bet, as it will keep the cookies fresh and moist.

How To Freeze Chick-Fil-A Cookies

However, if you need to store cookies for longer periods, such as a few weeks, you should consider using a freezer container. This will help keep the cookies from becoming stale and preserve their flavor. Make sure that the container is completely sealed before putting it in your freezer. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw the cookies at room temperature, and they should still be as good as new!
