How To Make Betty Crocker Cookies In Air Fryer

Step 2: Place a sheet of parchment paper in the basket to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and place it onto the parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.

Easy Betty Crocker Cookie Mix Air Fryer Recipe Tips

• Use parchment paper: Lining the air fryer basket prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy. Make sure it’s cut to fit but doesn’t block airflow.
• Don’t overfill the basket: Leave enough space between cookies so they can spread evenly without sticking together.
• Watch cook time closely: Air fryers vary, so start checking at 4 minutes to avoid overbaking.
• Slightly undercook for softness: Cookies will firm up as they cool, so remove when edges are lightly golden.
• Decorate while warm: If adding sprinkles or frosting, doing it while cookies are slightly warm helps it stick better.

Storing, Freezing and Make Ahead Instructions

• Storing: Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. This keeps them soft, chewy, and ready to enjoy anytime.
• Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the air fryer for that fresh-baked texture.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the cookie dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Scoop and cook in the air fryer when ready for quick, warm cookies anytime.
