Instructions
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until everything is just combined.2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon espresso powder
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them on the parchment-lined air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Gently press chocolate chips on top of each cookie.½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Place the cookies in the basket and bake for 6 minutes. After baking, let them cool briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth and creamy to make the frosting. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the cookies have cooled, pipe the frosting in a flower shape on each cookie.½ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup cream cheese, ½ cup cocoa powder, 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt

Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your butter and eggs reach room temperature before mixing. This helps everything blend smoothly.
- Perfect Creaminess: Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy to create a better texture in the cookies.
- Chocolate Chip Placement: Press chocolate chips lightly on top to keep them visible after baking.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Leave space between cookie balls in the air fryer to ensure they bake evenly.
- Avoid Over-Baking: Air fry for just 6 minutes to keep these cookies soft and fudgy.
- Pipe with Care: Use a gentle hand when frosting to achieve a clean, flower-like shape on each cookie.
