Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking.

Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.

Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the Cookies: Form the cookie dough into individual portions using a cookie scoop or your hands. Place the cookie portions on a parchment paper-lined tray or plate.

Grease the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.

Air Fry the Cookies: Place the cookie portions in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for expansion. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Cook Time: Cook the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 6-10 minutes, depending on your specific air fryer model and the size of the cookies. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they reach your desired level of crispiness and doneness.

Cool and Enjoy: Once the cookies are done, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
