Ingredients

  • 150 g Unsalted Butter Carefully Melted
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 75 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Essence
  • 320 g Plain Flour
  • 1.5 Teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 300 g Milk Chocolate - Broken up into squares.

Instructions

  • Place the squares of chocolate in a large sandwich bag and bash with a rolling pin to create smaller, uneven chunks.
  • Set to one side.
  • Place the sugars and melted butter in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. I use an electric whisk on medium power, which only takes a few seconds.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla and syrup.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the butter and sugar and whisk together.
  • Add the flour and bicarb and whisk until smooth.
  • Tip in the broken-up chocolate and whisk or fold through until spread out evenly.
  • Place the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • When the dough is chilled, preheat the air fryer to 150 degrees and set for 11 minutes.
  • Scoop out four golf ball-sized balls of dough and roll.
  • Place on a square of baking paper with small holes cut in.
  • Press down into rounds that are between 5mm and 1cm thick, making sure there’s a little room between them.
  • Carefully place in the preheated air fryer. Bake in the air fryer for 11 minutes.
  • Leave in the air fryer basket to firm up for 5-10 minutes before removing.
  • Repeat with all of the dough. This recipe makes around 16 cookies.

Notes

  • Cook time above is per batch. How long it takes to complete the cookies will depend on how many you can cook at a time.
  • To get my cookies into the air fryer basket, I fold the paper in half, drop it in, and then shake it a little until it is flat so my hands are never close to the hot sides of the basket. There is a video here.
  • My current electric whisk can manage cookie dough and even whisk the chocolate in. My old whisk couldn’t handle anything thick, and I’d have to stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Don’t use baking paper in your air fryer unless it’s weighed down or will fly up and catch the element; this can lead to a fire.
  • See the post above for more tips and advice.
