Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough in the air fryer?
Nope! You can use any refrigerated cookie dough, no matter what the variety. These steps will work for virtually all Pillsbury cookie recipes and even generic brands.
Actually, you can air fry cookie dough that is homemade as well. If you make homemade air fryer cookies, I recommend you refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before air frying so that you’re still using refrigerated cookie dough.

Making Pillsbury cookies in the air fryer is incredibly easy, and you don’t have to heat up your house. Plus, if you just want a couple of cookies, it’s easier to make a small batch. The texture of air fryer chocolate chip cookies is great too!
How do you store leftover air fryer Pillsbury cookies?
After you are done making the cookies in the air fryer, place them on a wire rack to cool. Once they are all the way cool, place them in a sealed container. They will last 3-4 days at room temperature.
You can also freeze these air fryer cookies too. After they have cooled, put them in a freezer bag, and they will last 2-3 months.

I was craving pumpkin spice cookies by toll house but it was to late to fire up the oven so air fryer it is! I put them in at 400° for 6 min and they came out they looked great!

Virginia
I just tried this. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Instead of parchment paper can you use foil?
Also can you still do this without the spray?
Laurie
A lot of people use foil. I think in some ways it blocks the airflow. so it might take longer to bake the cookies.
Cynthia Gracie
I used a small cake pan and it seemed to work well 🙂
Terri
Do I chose air fryer option or bake ootion
Laurie
Always air fry

Thanks for posting, theses were the exact cookies I’m going to try. I would not have thought to spray the paper to keep them from sticking.
I read a few other posts on the subject and the recommended putting slits in the paper for air flow, you made no mention of doing this, so I’m trying it with no added holes.
Thanks again,
