Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in medium mixing bowl.
Next, in a large bowl blend the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until well combined and fluffy. Then, add in the vanilla and eggs and mix until well combined.
Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture in increments and fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks with a wooden spoon or spatula. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 2 hours or freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Scoop the dough into 1.5 inch diameter balls. Air fry the cookies in a parchment paper lined air fryer basket for 6 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cooling rack.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Cookies

For the best result, be sure to chill the dough as directed.
Sprinkle kosher salt and chocolate chips on a small plate and roll the cookie dough balls in the mixture before air frying for even more salty, chocolatey goodness.
Place cookies 2 to 3-inches apart in the air fryer so they have a little room to spread.
