Giant chocolate chip cookies – the air fryer craze just got decadent

Foolproof Air Fryer by Louise Kenney tells you everything you need to know about cooking in an air fryer, with 60 recipes and clear, step-by-step instructions.

Air frying is a miraculous cooking method: You get all the satisfaction of fried food without the mess, it’s versatile – as well as “frying”, you can bake, roast, steam and more – and it makes simple and satisfying dishes in minimal time.

Today, we’re sharing Kenney’s decadent recipe for giant peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, with each one serving four people as a dessert.

Kenney says: “Crisp on top and gooey in the middle, there is nothing nicer than freshly baked cookies. Making individual ones can be a bit of a faff, so I’ve made giant ones here which you cut into wedges to serve. I would serve this as a pudding rather than as a snack. You can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it, then bake the cookies to order.’
