Are you ready to elevate your cookie game with the help of your trusty Ninja Foodi? Baking cookies in a Ninja Foodi is a convenient and efficient way to achieve perfectly baked treats with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Whether you’re a baking enthusiast or a novice in the kitchen, this guide will walk you through the steps to create mouthwatering cookies using your Ninja Foodi.

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • Flour: 2 1/4 cups
  • Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Butter: 1 cup, softened
  • Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
  • Brown sugar: 3/4 cup, packed
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Chocolate chips: 2 cups

Steps to Bake Cookies in Your Ninja Foodi:

  1. Preheat Your Ninja Foodi: Start by preheating your Ninja Foodi to 350°F using the bake/roast function.
  2. Prepare Your Cookie Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Form the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the cookie dough into balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the Ninja Foodi: Carefully transfer the baking sheet into the Ninja Foodi's air fryer basket. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the Ninja Foodi and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!

Tips for Baking Perfect Cookies:

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best results.
  • Proper Mixing: Avoid overmixing the cookie dough to prevent tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
  • Evenly Sized Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to ensure that your cookies are evenly sized for consistent baking.
  • Monitor Closely: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake in the Ninja Foodi to prevent over-browning.
