    Add your cookie dough to your air fryer. My air fryer could fit four cookies at one time. They should be at least 2 inches apart.

  • Cook at 325°F/162ºC for 7 minutes. Air fryer times vary. You can make sure that your cookies are fully cooked by sticking a toothpick in the center of them. If your toothpick comes out clean it is cooked in the center.

Notes

Top Tip: This recipe was made in my Chefman TurboFry Touch 8 Quart
Top Tip: This is the parchment paper that I use.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better!  When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
