Preheat Your Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a consistent cooking temperature from the start.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir them together until you have a smooth dough. The dough will be quite thick and sticky, which is perfect for cookie making.
Shape the Cookies: Take small amounts of dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a tablespoon. You can use a cookie scoop or just your hands. Flatten the balls slightly to form cookie shapes, as they will not spread much during cooking.
Prepare for Air Frying: Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket if your model requires it. Arrange the cookies in the basket, making sure to leave some space between each for air circulation. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches.
Air Fry the Cookies: Cook the cookies in the air fryer for about 5-6 minutes. Keep an eye on them after 4 minutes, as cooking times can vary slightly depending on the air fryer model and the size of your cookies.
Cool Down: Once the cookies are golden brown and cooked through, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. This will help them firm up a bit, as they will be very soft when they first come out.
Enjoy: Serve your delicious Air Fryer Cake Mix Cookies once they've cooled down a bit. They're great with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or just on their own!
