    Commonly Asked Questions about Air Fried Cookies.

    What Are there benefits of using an air fryer instead of an oven to bake cookies?

    Air fryers are smaller and thus, easier to use than an oven.
    This also means that they heat up faster and lose less heat than an everyday oven.
    🍪An air fryer allows you to make just a few cookies if that is all you want.
    Also,
    🍪Air fryers are convenient as they can go with you in a camper or hotel room.
    Lastly,
    🍪 They are more user friendly especially for folks who may need assistance with using an oven.

    What adjustments do you need to make when air frying cookies?

    The good news is that air frying cookies takes less time to do when it comes to both baking and cleaning up. However, on the downside, if you are looking to make a big batch of cookies, you may be better off using a traditional oven.

    🔴 You will only be able to make a few cookies at a time due to the size of the air fryer.
    🟠Because air fryers depend upon circulating heat in order to bake, they can bake cookies faster.
    🟡Some, not all, air fryers are able to handle a cookie sheet made for air fryers.

    🟢Lastly, you can make your cookies in batches , another option is to refrigerate or freeze the dough to air fry cookies as desired.

    Tips for making tasty air fryer cookies.

    What makes this air fryer cookie recipe even better may be that you can make as many cookies as you want to at a time. Refrigerating or freezing the cookie dough may be a good solution if you are someone who likes to make a few cookies at a time.

    More tips for you

    1. You will need to roll the cookie dough between your hands to make these cookies. If the dough gets sticky you can wet your hands with a bit of water.
    2. When placing the cookies into the air fryer basket, leave plenty of room between the cookies. This is both for expansion and for good airflow reasons.
    3. Since air fryers can vary in baking times, it is a good idea to check on the cookies as needed while they bake. However, these are fluffy cookies which means that a toothpick check can also help.

    Personalize air fryer cookies.

    These cookies are tasty just the way they are.
    However, you can make yours even better.

    Try one of these ideas!

    • Decorate your cookies with cookie icing.

    This is a simple recipe for cookies that are made in an air fryer oven.
    My cookies were made in a basic egg-shaped air fryer.

    To make this recipe we will first make the cookie dough.

    Then we will roll the scooped cookies into a ball and roll the ball in cinnamon sugar. Lastly, we will bake the cookies in a prewarmed air fryer.
