Today, I kicked off our summer with some homemade cookies, made of course in the air fryer. They were simple, and one of the best things, besides them being delicious, is that I didn’t have to watch them. Talk about a win, win, and what child does not like to come home to a plate of freshly made cookies.
These are so, so easy, and only require four ingredients, and if you wanted to make them Gluten Free, all you would need to change out is the cake mix.
If you haven’t made cookies in the air fryer, here are some general tips: ( I used my Vortex (air fryer oven) so I didn’t use parchment paper, but if you have a basket air fryer oven, this would be the time to purchase some, it makes clean up a breeze)
Now to be clear, I purchased these and set out to try them. I was armed with my Reynold’s Parchment Paper, which I truly use every day, and I recommend it to everyone.
I do spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray since if you didn’t the cookies would stick to the paper, and after they were done the cooking you wouldn’t be able to get them off (I tried and failed 2x before I came to that conclusion)
Here are some great tips for making the perfect cookie, in or out of the air fryer:
- Always read the recipe before you start. This way you ensure that you have all of the ingredients.
- Assemble all of the tools that you will need before you start. Once you start making cookies, your hands will get nice and gooey.
- Use the correct pans, making cookies on different pans, required different cookies times and temperatures. This should be noted in the recipe.
The tips for making cookies in the air fryer is to know your machine. I always put 2 cookies in to start, because every machine is different, the cookies will be done in two different machines at different times. So, I start with two cookies and then use 320 degrees F, as a starting point. Since, I want my food to be moist, soft, and delicious. I usually start all of my baking at that temperature. Today, I used the 330 degrees F, because last time I made cookies, that is what I found working with my machine. BUT again every machine is different, so you have to experiment. But once you find the point you should write it down on a piece of paper and stick it to your refrigerator.
Here are the simple steps, so you can make them in your own air fryer,
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix, vegetable, and egg.
Spray your air fryer tray with olive oil. (see basket instructions above, do not make cookies without parchment paper)
Use a cookie scoop and make a ball of dough about one tablespoon.
Then roll the dough into the powdered sugar.
As you make them, place them in your greased tray, and then place the tray or basket into the air fryer for 5-7 minutes at 330 degrees F. (they will harden when they cool) (air fryer setting)
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
