When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I am an equal opportunity eater. Give me a hot mass of dough that’s been cooked just long enough to hold its shape, or a thin and crispy disk, and I will be more than happy to indulge in it.
This air fryer cookie requires six common ingredients and about two minutes of your time. It can fill that craving you have, in emergency situations, yet it does not taste rushed.
To make this air fryer cookie you will need:
1 tablespoon of butter (You can use salted or unsalted—it truly doesn’t matter.)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch of sea salt (Yes, even if you used salted butter)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour (I’ve also used self-rising to great results)
1 heaping tablespoon chocolate chips
If your butter is coming straight from the fridge, put it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 10 seconds until it has fully softened.
Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix with a fork. Mix in the flour. The mixture will look crumbly but hold its shape when pressed together. Mix in the chocolate chips, then press into an un-greased 5- or 6-ounce ramekin and bake in a 350℉ air fryer for about 10 minutes, until the top is browned (but not burnt).
Let cool for five minutes before eating, because it will be incredibly hot. Enjoy!

OxiClean is an oxygen bleach, which is different from chlorine bleach in that it’s safe to use on both whites and colors. The powdered formula (as opposed to the liquid and gel formula stain removers, or the laundry detergents the brand offers) is intended to be used in conjunction with laundry detergent in the wash, or dissolved and used as a pre-soaking agent for very badly stained or dingy textiles. But! There are several different formulas and it’s not always clear which one will best suit your needs. Until now, of course!
The Original
The original OxiClean is a jack of all trades that’s appropriate for most laundry duties, though not always the absolute best choice.When someone (okay, me) name checks ‘OxiClean’ they’re most likely referring to this stuff, the OG standard formula. This, as the name plainly states, is the most versatile of all the Oxis. It can be used in laundry to remove stains and dinge from white- and light-colored items, or as a pre-soaking agent for badly soiled or stained clothing, sheets, towels, etc. It also has a number of other household cleaning uses, including and especially for use on tile floors to clean and brighten up grout.
If you’re looking for a product specifically to brighten up whites and light colored items — things like white t-shirts, duvet covers, towels, etc. — OxiClean’s White Revive formula is the stuff you want. While you can use a scoop in the wash alongside regular detergent to keep whites white, where the White Revive really shines is as a pre-soaking agent. Dissolve a scoop in a gallon of hot water and soak dingy or stained whites for 6 hours prior to laundering. One thing to note: While White Revive can be safely used on dark colors, it’s not recommended because the product contains optical brighteners that can lend darks a dingy, faded appearance over time.
Best For Darks
Add OxiClean Dark Protect to your load of darks to keep them from fading. Just be sure to use cold water, and tumble dry on low (or air dry, better yet).Perhaps you have a wardrobe entirely consisting of black and navy clothing? In that case, OxiClean’s formula designed to help preserve dark colors from fading in the wash is the stuff for you. In addition to using Dark Protect along with regular laundry detergent, wash dark clothing in cold water and dry on as low a heat setting as possible to help reduce the appearance of color loss.
Best For Odor Elimination
OxiClean Odor Blasters excels at removing that stubborn sweat smell from your workout gear.People who spend a lot of time at the gym, SoulCycle, yoga, and so on know this problem well: That lingering sweat smell that can cling to otherwise clean workout gear. There are all kinds of solutions to this problem, including avoiding the use of fabric softeners on athletic clothing and low-heat or air drying, but the use of an odor-eliminating booster like OxiClean Odor Blasters can also help to remove odor-causing bacteria. It can also be used as a pre-soaking agent to remove stains.
Best For Sensitive Skin
OxiClean Baby is meant for common baby stains, but it’s great for anyone with sensitive skin that struggles with fragrant or dyed detergent.You needn’t have a baby, or be a baby, to use OxiClean’s baby formula — though it is very good for parents to know about for removing typical baby stains like spit-up or diaper blowouts. If you have skin that is sensitive to fragrances and dyes, or a nose that simply doesn’t prefer the perfumes that are used in other OxiClean formulations, Baby Stain Remover is the stuff you want.
Do you have a kitchen? Yeah? Then you should check out this one-day Amazon sale, featuring a grab bag of kitchen accessories from KitchenAid, Amco, Faberware, and more. You should head over to Amazon to check out the sale, but here are a few favorites of ours:
This Misto sprayer, which basically turns olive oil into an aerosol, so you don’t have to keep cooking spray around.
Amco’s Rub-a-Way bar is basically a block of metal shaped like a piece of soap, but it’s surprisingly effective at neutralizing strong kitchen smells like garlic from your hands.
A classic for a reason, Taylor’s oven thermometer will ensure that you’re actually baking foods at the temperature you think you are.
This container features a strainer on top to separate solids from your pan drippings, and a quick release escape hatch on the bottom for easy gravy access.
A good set of measuring cups is a key pillar of sanity, and these from KitchenAid feature easy-pour spouts, and easy-to-read markings.
You can’t even think about serving guac to your guests that wasn’t mixed in a stone mortar and pestle, right?
