Double Chocolate Cookies – Air Fryer Cookies Easy Recipes

These double chocolate cookies hit different—crispy edges, gooey centers, and just the right amount of rich, fudgy drama. I baked these on a Sunday afternoon when I was supposed to fold laundry. Did the laundry get done? No. But the cookies? Oh, they absolutely disappeared. If you’ve ever needed an excuse to ignore your to-do list, this is it. They’re bold, not shy with the chocolate, and come together in one bowl, no fancy mixer needed. Perfect for those late-night cravings or when guests show up and you want to impress without actually trying that hard. I use dark cocoa and two types of chocolate chips, because why settle for one kind of chocolate when life is already hard enough? Whether you’re baking for a party, prepping for the week, or just feeling snacky, these cookies deliver. One bite and you’ll know why they’re a go-to in my kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder (preferably dark)
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (mix of dark and semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets. Leave space—they spread.
  7. Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
  8. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Try not to eat them all at once.

Notes

If you like a softer cookie, pull them from the oven a minute early. For crispier edges, leave them in the full 10. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra hit of flavor. These freeze well, too!
