Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or red, white, and blue baking chips)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 340 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray a 6-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the pizookie doesn’t stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, combining all ingredients well.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture. Beat the mixture again until the batter is uniform without any lumps, carefully combining the dry ingredients evenly.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips thoroughly so that they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough batter.
- Prepare Dough in Pan: Press the pizookie dough evenly into the prepared greased 6-inch round cake pan, making sure the dough is spread out to cover the entire base.
- Air Fry the Pizookie: Place the cake pan inside the air fryer basket and air fry at 340ºF for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft for a gooey texture.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pan from the air fryer and allow the pizookie to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the pizookie to keep the center soft and gooey.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with your choice of baking chips or nuts.
- Adjust air fryer times based on your model and pan size for best results.
- Use a 6-inch round cake pan or any similarly sized oven-safe dish that fits into your air fryer basket.
