# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can make fresh, warm cookies in less time than it takes to drive to a bakery.
  • The air fryer gives you perfectly chewy centers with just-right crispy edges every single time.
  • This batch size means no wasteful leftovers—just enough for a real moment of indulgence.
02 -
  • Don't overbake—pulling them out when they look slightly soft in the middle is the secret to chewy cookies that don't turn hard.
  • Room temperature butter makes an actual difference; cold butter won't cream properly, and melted butter changes the whole texture.
03 -
  • Measure your flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it off—scooping directly adds too much and makes cookies dry.
  • A digital scale removes all guesswork, but if you're using cups, these tiny amounts actually benefit from leveling everything carefully.
