Yes. Cookies can absolutely be made in an air fryer. In fact, they come out nice and crispy – just like you want them to be. Here’s a great recipe to get started:
Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy.
Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Place the frozen cookie dough balls in the air fryer basket (in batches if necessary) and cook for 6 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy!
What Happens When You Air Fry A Cookie?
When you air fry a cookie, the heat from the air fryer causes the sugar in the cookie to caramelize.
The Maillard reaction also happens, which is a chemical reaction that creates flavor and aroma.
So when you air fry a cookie, it not only becomes crispy, but it also has a delicious roasted flavor.
How Long Should You Put Cookies In The Air Fryer?
It really depends on the type of cookie and your preferences. If you like your cookies soft and chewy, then you’ll want to cook them for less time than if you prefer them to be crispier.
Generally speaking, cookies in an air fryer should take about 10 minutes to cook through. However, keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time as necessary until they’re just how you like them.
Answer: When it comes to the length of time cookies should be in the air fryer, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, the thickness of your cookie will affect how long it needs to cook. If your cookies are on the thinner side, they’ll need less time than thicker ones.
Second, keep an eye on your cookies as they’re cooking, and don’t let them get too dark or burned. You want them to be a nice golden brown when they’re done.
Finally, figure out what temperature works best for your air fryer.
Some air fryers run hotter than others, so you may need to experiment a bit to find the perfect cooking time and temperature for your cookies.
Generally speaking, thinner cookies will take about 10 minutes to cook through at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
