Air Fryer Confetti Cookies

These might be my favorite cookies I have ever made. They are really butter cookies, with sprinkles. They are usually referred to as Air Fryer Confetti Cookies. So good and so easy to make.

Making cookies in the air fryer is fun, and isn’t that what baking is supposed to be about. I usually air fry cookies while I am cleaning the kitchen since you have to do several batches. But it’s easy, and you can easily watch them, as they bake. Simple and delicious.

How To Make Cookies in the Air Fryer Basket–

To make air fryer cookies in an air fryer basket, you need to line your basket with these sheets. (affiliate link)  Reynold’s Parchment Paper, which I truly use every day, and I recommend it to everyone.

I have been making cookies in my air fryer since I purchased my first air fryer. 

Here are some Tips for Making Cookies in the Air Fryer–

The first tip for making cookies in the air fryer is to know your air fryer machine.

My advice to anyone starting out baking cookies in their air fryer. Is to put a few cookies in to start.

The reason is simple,  every air fryer machine is different, the same cookies will be baked (air fried) at different times, in every different air fryer.

My advice, which I do, for myself, is I start with two cookies and then use 320 degrees F, as a starting point. Since, I want my baked goods to be moist, soft, and delicious. I usually start all of my baking at that temperature. I would rather have a longer cooking time, but a better-baked good at the end.
