🍪 225g unsalted butter, softened

🍪 200g granulated sugar

🍪 220g packed brown sugar

🍪 2 large eggs

🍪 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

🍪 360g all-purpose flour

🍪 1 teaspoon baking soda

🍪 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

🍪 1/2 teaspoon salt

🍪 175g chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

🍪 Optional: 50g chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks and any optional nuts or dried fruit.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your Tefal Easy Fry to 180°C (350°F). This temperature is ideal for baking cookies evenly.

Shape the Cookies:

Line the air fryer baskets with baking paper or parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and helps with cleanup.

Scoop spoonfuls of cookie dough and place them in the air fryer basket. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon or your hand. Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Air Fry the Cookies:

Cook the cookies at 180°C (350°F) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on the size of the cookies and your air fryer model.

Cool and Enjoy:

Once the cookies are baked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them firm up and become crispy.

Serve:

Place the cookies on a festive plate for Santa. They make a perfect treat for the holiday season!
