Air Fryer Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before scooping to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Place the cookie dough balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for even cooking.
- Check for Doneness: Air fryers can vary in cooking times, so check the cookies a minute or two early. They should be lightly golden around the edges.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to add nuts or swap cranberries for other dried fruits, like cherries or raisins, for a different flavor profile.
- Store Properly: Once cooled, store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Reheat for Freshness: If the cookies lose their softness, pop them back in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a minute to warm them up.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining the air fryer basket with parchment paper can help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add Extra Flavor: For an added twist, consider mixing in a dash of cinnamon or almond extract to enhance the flavor.
- Serve Warm: These cookies are best enjoyed warm, so serve them fresh out of the air fryer for the ultimate treat!
