Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Bake Cookies In The Air Fryer?

Yes, the air fryer is such an easy way to make a quick dessert for your family. The temperature will depend on the particular cookie and air fryer you are using, but they are fabulous in the air fryer.

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

Yes, however, you need to be careful that the foil never touches the heating element. It would be best to make sure that there is no loose foil in the air fryer. Always make sure that it is correctly weighted down.

And when in doubt, always check with your instruction manual, as every air fryer is slightly different. And your model may not recommend aluminum foil.

Can you use parchment paper in the air fryer?

Yes, the paper is specifically designed for air fryers. Sometimes, I use parchment sheets when I am baking cookies. I find that the cookies come out perfectly; I will give you some of my favorites at the end of this recipe.

Can I freeze these cookies?

These cookies freeze quite well. To freeze, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them on a baking tray individually, then place the tray into the freezer. Once the cookies are frozen solid, move them to an airtight container.

To use from the freeze: Simply let them thaw.
