Air-Fryer Stuffed Scoopable Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 125 g Unsalted butter (Cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Caster sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla essence
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (For the air-fryer version, use 1½ cups minus 2 tbsp)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (Use the full amount for the oven/OTG version; this is an alternative to the air-fryer flour amount)
• 0.5 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• Salt (A pinch)
• Couverture chocolate (Chopped; use as required)
• Couverture milk chocolate (For the filling; cut or break into pieces)
• Vanilla ice cream (For serving, one scoop per cookie as desired)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar to a bowl. Mix gently with a whisk until creamy.

2. 2

   Add the egg and vanilla essence. Whisk again until well combined.

3. 3

   Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.

4. 4

   Fold in the chopped couverture chocolate chunks.

5. 5

   Scoop out individual portions of dough and flatten each portion in the palm of your hand.

6. 6

   Place a piece of couverture milk chocolate in the center of each flattened portion. Bring the dough around the chocolate and roll it into a ball, ensuring the chocolate is completely enclosed.

7. 7

   Place the cookie dough balls in a ceramic dish suitable for use in an air fryer.

8. 8

   Refrigeration is optional. Chill the dough balls for a while before baking if desired.

9. 9

   For the air-fryer version, use the flour amount specified for air frying—1½ cups minus 2 tablespoons. Air fry at 160°C for 10–12 minutes, or until done to your preference.

10. 10

    For the oven/OTG version, use the full 1½ cups of all-purpose flour and bake according to your oven's temperature and baking time, checking for doneness.

11. 11

    Let the cookie cool slightly, then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve warm.

Notes

The source does not provide an oven/OTG temperature or baking time. The two flour quantities are alternatives: use 1½ cups minus 2 tablespoons for air frying, or the full 1½ cups for the oven/OTG version. Quantities for the chopped chocolate, filling chocolate, and ice cream are not specified.
