Can I bake cookies in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Air fryer cookies recipes are not only possible, they’re one of the easiest ways to get warm, freshly baked cookies without heating up your whole kitchen. Just line your air fryer with parchment paper, space the dough balls evenly, and bake at 320°F–350°F for 5–7 minutes depending on your desired texture. It’s perfect for small batches and quick cravings.

Can I put raw cookie dough in the air fryer?

Yes, you can place raw cookie dough directly into your air fryer basket as long as it’s lined properly with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure the dough is scooped into equal portions and spaced apart so air can circulate. If you're using frozen dough balls, no need to thaw, just increase bake time slightly. Air fryer cookie recipes are flexible and beginner-friendly, making them easy to tweak to your taste
