Ingredients Needed

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Christmas Brownie Mix Cookies
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and flour. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 2: Fold in the holiday M&Ms, saving a few to press on top for that festive look.
Step 3: Scoop out small portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on parchment paper, leaving space between each.
Step 4: Set air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, and set cook time for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 5: Let the cookies sit for a few minutes before removing—they’ll firm up as they cool. Grab one while it’s warm and gooey… just try not to eat half the batch standing at the counter.
Easy Air Fryer Christmas Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe Tips
- Use parchment paper: Keeps cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Do not overmix the dough: Stir just until combined to keep cookies soft and fudgy.
- Add extra M&Ms on top: Press a few into each dough ball for a festive look.
- Leave space between cookies: They spread slightly while cooking in the air fryer.
- Watch the cook time closely: Air fryers vary, so check early to avoid overbaking.
- Let cookies cool before removing: They firm up as they sit and won’t fall apart.
- Serve warm for best texture: Gooey centers and soft edges are the goal here.
Storing, Freezing and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Keep them in a cool spot to maintain their soft, fudgy texture.
- Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the air fryer for that fresh-baked feel.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Scoop and cook when ready for fresh, warm cookies anytime.
