How To Make Cookie and Cream Brownies In Air Fryer

To make Cookies and Cream Brownies in the air fryer, follow these simple steps:

Start by melting the butter (I used a microwave-safe bowl) and microwave it until melted. Mix in the chocolate chips. Continue to mix until the chocolate chips are melted.

Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and the rest of the ingredients.

Continue to mix well. Spread into an air fryer safe pan, and bake at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 20 to 25 minutes.

Let cool before adding the icing. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Then mix in the vanilla, and powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.

Spread the icing over the cooled brownies, crush the Oreo, and sprinkle on top.

Pro Tips

Here are some pro tips to help you make perfect Air Fryer Cookies & Cream Brownies:

• Crush Cookies Carefully: When crushing the cookies to add to the brownie batter, aim for a mix of smaller and larger pieces. This variety will provide a delightful texture to the brownies.
• Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Allow the eggs and butter to come to room temperature before mixing the brownie batter. Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly and create a smoother batter.
• Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies to check for doneness. They’re done when the toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached but not wet batter.
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer before adding the brownie batter. Preheating ensures that the air fryer is hot enough to start cooking the brownies immediately, resulting in even baking.
• Grease the Pan Well: To prevent the brownies from sticking, generously grease the baking pan or oven-safe dish. You can use butter, cooking spray, or a light oil coating.
• To avoid Overmixing, Mix the brownie batter until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
• Let Them Cool: After removing the brownies from the air fryer, allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. This helps them set and develop a better texture.
• Serve with a Glass of Milk: Cookies & Cream Brownies pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk. The combination of rich chocolate and crunchy cookies with creamy milk is irresistible!

By following these pro tips, you can make perfect Air Fryer Cookies & Cream Brownies every time—crispy on the outside, soft and fudgy on the inside, and packed with delicious cookie goodness!
