Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie

To make a single serve chocolate chip cookie in an air fryer, start by preheating the air fryer to 325 degrees. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of melted browned butter with 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of white sugar. Add 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, mixing until combined. In another bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped chocolate. Scoop the dough into a ball and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

If you're looking for dietary substitutions for the single serve chocolate chip cookie, you can use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative instead of melted butter for a dairy-free version. For a vegan option, replace the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. You can also use almond flour or gluten-free flour instead of regular flour to make it gluten-free.

To store your single serve chocolate chip cookie, let it cool completely, then place it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider refrigerating it for up to a week or freezing it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

For a delicious treat, you can pair your single serve chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. A glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee also complements the cookie perfectly, enhancing the chocolate flavor and providing a comforting experience.

Yes, you can make multiple single serve chocolate chip cookies in the air fryer, but be sure to space them out to allow for even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Just remember to adjust the cooking time slightly if you're making larger cookies or more than one at a time.
