Preheat the air fryer to 190°C, using bake mode if available; otherwise, use the air fryer setting.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until creamy, ideally using a mixer. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Optional, but it helps keep the cookies from spreading too much: cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Shape the dough into small balls on parchment paper and cook for 9 to 11 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer.
Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes after removing them from the air fryer.
Notes
It's normal for the cookies not to look fully baked when you take them out. That's the trick to keeping them from overbaking.Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer.You probably won't be able to cook all the cookies in the air fryer at once, so plan accordingly. The dough freezes very well.
