Air Fryer Slice and Bake Cookies

Air Fryer Slice and Bake Cookies — The new way to bake cookies is with an air fryer. What’s better than a warm, just-out-of oven cookie? It is a friendly, just-out-of oven cookie that you can have in less than half of the time it would take in a traditional oven!

Air Fryer Slice and Bake Cookies

Air Fryer Slice and Bake Cookies are amazing. You can make these with almost any shape inside; today, I made a simple heart.

If you have not made cookies in the air fryer, they are unique and taste as you got them at the local bakery shop. They are soft on the inside, with a slight crisp on the outside. They taste amazing, and you add some sprinkles. What a fun and tasty dessert. What can be better?

If you ever wanted to make cookies with your kids, this is a great baking project, and you can have a lot of fun with this recipe. You can make these for any holiday. Just switch out the center for Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, even back-to-school. But nothing is better cooking with kids than a heart.

I love baking with my kids. Some of my kids’ favorite Air Fryer Cookie Recipes are Air Fryer Linzer Cookies, Air Fryer Sugar Cookies, or even Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies! All amazing.

After you have finished cutting all of your hearts out of the red and pink dough, stack them onto a piece of saran wrap, and place them into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Then roll out the uncolored dough into a large log to wrap the hearts in the uncolored dough. Wrap the dough log around the hearts, pressing firmly.

Place some sprinkles into a small dish, cover the outside dough with sprinkles. Place the dough into the refrigerator, for about 2 to 3 hours, to firm up.

Then after the dough is chilled, slice the cookie dough into about 1/2 inch pieces. Set onto parchment paper, and then in the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for 5-6 minutes. They will harden as they cool down.

Note: keep the dough in the refrigerator in between batches so the dough stays cold.

Some Common Questions Asked About Making Cookies In the Air Fryer–

Can I bake with Air Fryer?

Yes, baking is perfect in the air fryer, especially for small batches. Making or baking food in the air fryer is faster because you no longer need to wait for the oven to preheat.

And the air fryer works by circulating hot air all around the food, which means that every baked good is perfectly cooked.

Can You Put Aluminum Foil and Parchment Paper in the Air Fryer?

Depending on which model air fryer you own (always remember to check your owner’s manual first, since every air fryer is different), you can or can not use parchment paper or foil in your air fryer.

If you can use foil, make sure that it’s appropriately weighted down so that the aluminum foil does not blow into the heating element, causing damage or a safety hazard.

I typically use parchment paper for baking, parchment paper is the best suited for allowing the airflow around the air fryer, and I find that the food cooks up more evenly.

How To Bake Cookies In An Air Fryer

Depending on which air fryer you own, either basket or oven. For the range, I usually put my dough directly on the drip tray.

If you have an air fryer basket, you will want to purchase from air fryer parchment paper for cookies, which is perfect. Then just cut the piece to size. The piece that you are buying will be based on the individual air fryer that you own.

HOW TO STORE AIR FRYER SLICE AND BAKE COOKIES

These cookies are best when eaten fresh, within a day or two after being baked or air-fried.

They will last for about a week; place the leftover cookies into an airtight container and place the container in the refrigerator or on the counter.

How to Warm Up Air Fryer Cookies

If you want to heat them for the family, I put mine in for 2 to 3 minutes at 300 degrees F or until warmed. Great for a special treat for the family.
