Air Fryer Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Tips
- Do not over mix your cookie mix. Otherwise, you will end up with dense cookies. Since, as you mix, the gluten is released from the dough, overmixing leads to dry and dense cookies.
- Let them cool completely before removing them.
- The cookies will harden as they cool down, which is important since you do not want to overbake them.
- Any cake mix will work. I would recommend using either Devil’s Food Cake mix or Moist Chocolate Cake Mix with Pudding. For best results.
- Since every air fryer is slightly different, it’s important to watch your cookies as they bake.
Air Fryer Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Faqs
How long do I cook double chocolate chip cookies in the air fryer? Cook the cookies at 340°F (175°C) for 5-9 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies and your air fryer model.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer? Preheating the air fryer isn’t always necessary, but it can help ensure even cooking and a crisp exterior.
Can I use parchment paper in the air fryer? Yes, placing a small sheet of parchment paper under the cookies can prevent them from sticking and make clean-up easier. Just ensure the paper doesn’t touch the heating element.
What’s the best way to prevent cookies from spreading too much in the air fryer? Chill the cookie dough for 10-15 minutes before air frying, or slightly reduce the amount of oil to prevent excessive spreading.

How do I store leftover cookies? Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
Can I double the recipe? Yes, you can easily double the recipe. Just make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket and bake in batches if needed.
What’s the texture like compared to oven-baked cookies? Air fryer cookies tend to be crispier on the outside with a slightly chewier center, providing a perfect balance of textures.
