Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 whole almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on a piece of parchment paper or directly into the air fryer basket, making sure they’re spaced about 1 inch apart.
- Press one almond into the center of each cookie dough ball.
- Air fry the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to check the cookies after 6 minutes and adjust the time if necessary.
- Remove the cookies from the air fryer and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer, you can also use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- For a chewier cookie, you can chill the dough for about 30 minutes before air frying, but it’s not necessary.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
