Flour: Use regular, all-purpose flour, that has been sifted, to remove any clumps.
Cornstarch: Helps to thicken the cookies, and makes them chewy.
Cream of Tartar: This helps to give the cookies a light and fluffy texture.
Kosher Salt: Adds some flavor to the dough.
Butter: Use unsalted, room temperature butter.
Granulated Sugar: You can use white sugar or brown sugar
Egg: Use a large, room temperature egg.
Vanilla Extract: For the best flavor, use pure vanilla extract.

How To Make Cookie Fries In Air Fryer

Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside for now. In a large bowl, beat together butter and granulated sugar on high until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined (about 30 seconds).

Beat dry ingredients into wet ingredients on low just until combined. Do not overmix. Cover the bowl with food-safe plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes before rolling it out.

Stir together the topping ingredients (granulated sugar and ground cinnamon) in a bowl then set aside. To keep these cookies thick and chewy, they should be rolled out to 3/8” thickness. This is the rolling pin I use to ensure even thickness for all cookies. Lightly dust the table or silicone baking mat with flour before rolling out the dough. Just a very light dusting of flour – you don’t want too much flour added to the cookie dough.

Place about 1/3 of the dough on the table and start to roll the dough out. Lightly dust the rolling pin with flour if the dough is sticking to the rolling pin.

Using a crinkle cutter (this is what I use) cut the cookie fries about ½” to ¾” in width to between 4” and 5” long. You’ll want to vary the length a bit between 4” and 5” long so they aren’t all the exact same length.

As you gently lift each cookie fry off the table or baking mat, place the cookie fry in the topping mixture and lightly press each side into the topping mixture. It may be easier to have the topping mixture on a flat plate rather than in a bowl so that the fry doesn’t get squished or bent when you’re trying to coat it. Place the raw cookie dough fries about 1.5” apart on the parchment-lined baking sheets. The cookies shouldn’t spread much during baking but leave a little bit of space between fries for some growth.

Place the trays of cookie fries into the freezer for 20 minutes. Add the cookie dough to a parchment-lined air fryer basket, being careful to leave space around the cookies, and making sure they are not touching. Air Fry at 320 degrees F, for 4 to 8 minutes. The cookies should be firm enough to hold their shape if you were to flip one over but not baked enough that the bottom has started to brown. Don’t overbake the cookies or they’ll turn out crunchy instead of chewy.

Cook the cookies in batches, until the dough is used.

Pro Tips For The Best Air Fried Cookie Fries

Air fryers can do more than just crisp up frozen french fries – they can also bake the perfect cookie fries! But before you fire up your air fryer, here are some pro tips for baking the ultimate treat.

Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the fryer basket. It may be tempting to cram in as many cookie dough pieces as possible, but this will result in unevenly cooked cookie fries.
Flavors: Experiment with different types of dough. Traditional chocolate chip cookies work well, but try mixing it up with red velvet or even a sugar cookie base for a twist on traditional cookie fries.
Timing: Keep an eye on the temperature and cooking time. Every air fryer is different, so check for doneness early and adjust accordingly to prevent burnt edges or undercooked centers.

Keep these tips in mind and your air fryer will be cranking out delicious cookie fries in no time!

Frequently Asked Questions About Making Cookies In Air Fryer

Can I freeze these snickerdoodle cookie fries?

Once baked these snickerdoodle cookie fries can be frozen for up to two months. Be sure to wrap them well in food-safe plastic wrap (to prevent them from drying out) and store them in a sealed food-safe container. Bring back to room temperature before serving.

My cookie fries spread a lot during baking – what went wrong?

Be sure to measure your butter correctly. Adding too much butter or substituting butter for another ingredient could cause these cookie fries to spread too much.

The chilling and freezing steps in this recipe are really important as it helps the cookies to hold their shape during baking. Be sure to chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling it out and cutting it into fries (not much longer than 30 minutes though or the dough will become hard to work with). Then freeze the fries for 20 minutes before baking.

My dough is tough and hard to work with. What went wrong?

This could be due to a variety of reasons. If your dough is too crumbly, the butter probably wasn’t slightly melted when you mixed it with the other ingredients. The cold butter should be warmed in the microwave for about 30 seconds before mixing with the sugar.

Another reason could be too much flour was added to the dough. If you’re scooping flour directly out of the bag with the measuring cup, you could be getting 25% more flour than you actually need in your recipes. To help prevent that, either uses a food scale to measure the flour or use a spoon in the flour bag to gently scoop flour into your measuring cup. This will help prevent overfilling or packing the flour into the measuring cup.

Was the dough chilled in the fridge longer than 30 minutes? If so, you may want to leave the dough out at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow it to soften up a little bit
