    Air Fryer Cookies FAQs

    Can I Bake Cookies in an Air Fryer?

    Yes! Air fryers work well for baking.

    Similar to a convection oven (aka fan-forced oven), air fryers have a fan that circulates hot air that evenly distributes heat. This cooking method results in faster cooking times and even browning.

    Can I Put Parchment Paper in an Air Fryer?

    Yes! Just make sure you check to see that the parchment paper you’re using can withstand the temperature you’re cooking at.

    How Long Do You Air Fry Cookie Dough?

    This dough cooks for about 7 minutes to cook at 325F in an Air Fryer.
