I love baking in the air fryer; nothing is easier. My kids joke and call it my easy-bake oven. But whatever you call your air fryer, you will never get better-baked goods—light, fluffy, and tender. Cookies come out unique in the air fryer.

Easy Air Fryer Copycat Doubletree Cookies Recipe Tips

  • Chill the dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before air frying to help the cookies hold their shape and enhance the flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket: Leave space between cookies in the air fryer so the air can circulate for even cooking.
  • Use parchment paper: Place a small sheet of parchment paper in the basket to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Adjust cook time: Every air fryer is different—start checking around 7 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Let them cool slightly: Allow cookies to rest for 5 minutes after air frying so they set perfectly soft and chewy inside.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Keep your Air Fryer DoubleTree Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To maintain softness, place a slice of bread in the container to help retain moisture.
  • Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the unbaked cookie dough balls—just thaw them for 10–15 minutes before air frying.
  • Reheating: Warm leftover cookies in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes or in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven texture.

Can I use a different type of chocolate? Yes! Semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips all work well. You can even chop a chocolate bar for larger chocolate chunks.

Can I bake these cookies in the oven instead of an air fryer? Absolutely. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and set in the center.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much? Chill the dough before cooking and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins? Definitely! Walnuts, pecans, or dried fruit can be folded into the dough for added flavor and texture.
