Vegan Air fryer Cookies
Vegan air fryer cookies - these incredible vegan chocolate chip cookies can be made in either an air fryer or a traditional oven. They are rich, sweet, soft and chewy, easy to make with no weird ingredients and very addictive!
Servings 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 120 g (½ cup) vegan block butter slightly softened
- 100 g (½ cup) light brown soft sugar
- 50 g (¼ cup) caster or granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use soy)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 210 g (1 ¾ cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 120 g (4 ½ oz) dark chocolate roughly chopped
Instructions
- Line the basket of an air fryer with baking paper, folding it under the tray so that it cannot fly up. Poke holes in the parchment with a toothpick.
- Add the butter and sugars to a large bowl and cream together until well combined.
- Add the milk, vanilla, flour, baking powder and soda and salt and mix to form a smooth, stiff dough. It may seem a bit dry at first but keep mixing and it will come together.
- Add the chopped chocolate and mix until combined.
- Divide the dough into 10 portions and roll into balls. Place a few of them well spaced apart in the lined air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer you will be able to fit 2-4 cookies at a time.
- Air fry for 10-15 minutes at 160℃ (325℉) until browned around the edges. The cookies will still be very soft at this stage.
- Leave the cookies to cool in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes to firm up a bit then use a spatula or fish slice to carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
- Repeat with the remaining dough or keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively see post above for details about freezing the dough.
Notes
- See post above for tips, details and step-by-step photos.
- For the best results make sure that you follow the recipe closely. As always, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup conversions.
- To bake the cookies in an oven, place them well spaced apart on a couple of lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas mark 4 for 15-18 minutes until golden.
