Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup red, white, and blue baking chips
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to cream these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a lighter texture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Beat the batter continuously until it becomes uniform and forms a thick cookie dough consistency.
- Incorporate Baking Chips: Fold in the red, white, and blue baking chips evenly into the batter, ensuring they’re distributed throughout the dough for bursts of flavor and color in every bite.
- Prepare Pan and Shape Dough: Lightly grease an air fryer cake barrel pan to prevent sticking. Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan, shaping it gently to fit the base.
- Air Fry at 340°F: Place the pan into the air fryer and cook at 340°F for 13 minutes. This initial cooking time allows the pizookie to start baking through while forming a lightly golden crust.
- Reduce Heat and Continue Baking: Lower the air fryer temperature to 310°F and continue baking for an additional 6 minutes. This step ensures the center is fully baked but remains soft and gooey, characteristic of a perfect pizookie.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming for best texture.
- You can substitute the baking chips with chocolate chips or other candy pieces if desired.
- Use an air fryer-safe cake barrel pan or a small oven-safe pan that fits your air fryer basket.
- The pizookie is best enjoyed warm for a gooey texture; reheat gently if served later.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; check for doneness accordingly.
