What do you get when you want a quick dessert but don’t feel like preheating a regular oven and making an entire batch of cookies?

For all the chocolate lovers out there, if you enjoy this recipe you should also try vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and vegan chocolate chip muffins!
What to Expect:
- a gooey yet crisp cookie filled with chocolate.
- a big cookie... while this is a cookie for "one," it can definitely be shared between two people.
- a quick and easy recipe that will be your new go to for single serving cookies!
Ingredients
You will need these simple ingredients to make a single serving air fryer cookie:
Plant milk replaces the egg and helps to form the cookie dough. Any kind works, I used unsweetened soy milk. Oat milk or almond milk are both great options.
A combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch creates a light cake flour feel reminiscent of thick Levain cookies. You could also use cake flour if you have it!
Chocolate chips are everything in this cookie! I like to use an assortment of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, large semi-sweet morsels, and dark chocolate chips. You could also chop up pieces of your favorite dark chocolate bar for even larger chunks of chocolatey goodness.
You can have a lot of fun personalizing this recipe because it's single serving! Try other mix-ins like nuts, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut. My personal favorite combo is chocolate and walnuts (like in a classic Levain cookie).

Directions with Pictures
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making the best air fryer cookie for one:
- Cream softened room temperature vegan butter and sugars together.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix to form a thick dough.
- Form the cookie dough into a disk. You don't want to flatten it too much because it isn't going to rise a lot.
- Air fry until the outside of the cookie is golden and crispy, with fully cooked edges. The center will still feel slightly gooey.
Ways to Serve
Top your single-serve cookie with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream and some strawberries or blueberries. I love adding fresh fruit to balance the richness of the cookie.
Opt for coconut whipped cream for a light and fluffy pairing to this thick air fryer cookie.
Recipe FAQ
Yes! The cooking time and temperature will vary slightly. Add a few minutes to the overall time. The oven temperature should also be adjusted to 375°F.
Yes! This recipe yields a 4.5" cookie and could easily be split into 2 or 3 regular-sized cookies.
Use a cookie scoop to make smaller air fryer chocolate chip cookies. The cooking time will be slightly shorter, given the smaller surface area.
Yes! Make the dough as usual and shape it into the disk. Place it in a reusable freezer bag.
When you're ready for a treat, there's no need to thaw the dough. Just pop it straight into the air fryer and proceed with the directions as usual!
I do not recommend eating this cookie dough raw.
Even though there is no raw egg, there is still flour, which should be heat-treated before eating.
If you're looking for some cookie dough that is safe to eat raw, try chickpea cookie dough!

Delicious! Just what I was looking for. I used coconut oil in place of the vegan butter and halved the recipe - portion control because if I made it all, I would eat it all.
