# Expert suggestions:

01 -
  • No oven preheat means you go from craving to cookie in under twenty minutes.
  • Small batch keeps you from eating a whole tray and pretending it didnt happen.
  • The air fryer gives you crispy edges without drying out the centers.
  • Perfect for late night sweetness without waking up the whole kitchen.
02 -
  • Dont skip the parchment, I tried it once and spent twenty minutes scrubbing melted chocolate off the basket.
  • The cookies will look underdone when you pull them out, but they keep cooking from residual heat.
  • If your air fryer runs hot, start checking at six minutes to avoid crispy regret.
03 -
  • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top right after they come out for that bakery touch.
  • If you only have a whole egg, beat it and use about half, saving the rest for scrambled eggs tomorrow.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops before baking so they look as good as they taste.
