Create irresistible Air Fryer Chocolate Stuffed Cookies for Valentine’s Day—easy, quick, and perfect for sharing sweet moments!

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6–8 squares of milk chocolate or dark chocolate for stuffing
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Setting this aside ensures your cookie dough has an even rise and a balanced flavor.
  2. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This aeration is key to tender cookies.
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth and uniform. These ingredients bind the dough and bring richness to the flavor.
  4. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overworking the dough. Incorporate the chocolate chips last for even distribution.
  5. Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a square of chocolate in the center, then fold the dough around it, rolling into a smooth ball ensuring the chocolate is completely enclosed.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough balls in the basket, leaving space between each to allow for spreading. Cook for 8-10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes to prevent burning. The cookies should appear set but soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes to firm up slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a festive Valentine’s Day touch. Serve warm to enjoy that gooey, melted chocolate center!
