What temperature is used for air frying the cookie cups?

The cookie cups are air fried at 320°F (160°C) to ensure a golden top with a soft, molten center.

Can I substitute chocolate chips with other mix-ins?

Yes, peanut butter or caramel chips can be used as alternatives for different flavors.

Lightly grease or line silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking during air frying.

Allowing them to cool for 5 minutes helps the centers set slightly while keeping the gooey texture.

Adjusting ingredients like butter and chocolate to dairy-free alternatives can make these suitable for vegan or dairy-free diets.
