Instructions
In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and use a hand mixer for 2 minutes until well mixed.
Add egg, vanilla, and red food coloring and mix until completely combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and flour.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two batches using a mixer on low speed.
Fold in the white and mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
Scoop one tablespoon of dough into your hands, roll into a ball, and place on a plate.
Cover the dough balls and refrigerate for at least one hour to improve texture.
Preheat the air fryer to 300°F.
Place dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving one inch of space between them.
Bake for 6 minutes at 300°F, then let the cookies rest in the air fryer for 1 minute to set before removing.
Pro Tips
Chilling the dough balls before baking helps the cookies maintain their shape and improves the final texture.
Cutting small holes in the parchment paper is essential for proper air circulation in the air fryer.
Do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly soft when removed from the air fryer to ensure they remain chewy after cooling.
