Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-20 seconds or just until it begins to melt. Add brown and white sugars and beat until fully combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla for another 30 seconds. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until fully combined.

Line the air fryer racks with parchment paper. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of dough onto the air fryer basket, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart. Depending on your air fryer size, you should be able to fit 2-4 cookies at a time.

Cook at 325°F for 5-7 minutes or until the cookies are golden and cooked through. Allow cookies to rest in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes before removing.

Repeat with remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
