Cream the butter and sugar: In a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Combine wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in chocolate chips until just combined.
Bake the cookies: Scoop dough into balls and place on the prepared air fryer basket. Bake for 8 minutes.
Cool and repeat: Let cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all dough is used.
