# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Soft chewy centers with slightly crisp edges in under ten minutes
  • Perfect small batch when you dont want a full oven commitment
  • Minimal cleanup and practically foolproof even on lazy nights
02 -
  • Overcrowding the basket leads to uneven baking so stick to six cookies max
  • Every air fryer runs differently so check at the seven minute mark the first time
  • The cookies look underdone when you pull them out but they firm up fast while cooling
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for consistent results every batch
  • Let the dough rest in the fridge for thirty minutes if you have time for deeper flavor
