A Guide to Air Frying Cookies: Timing and Perfection

But after many trials and errors, I finally figured out how to get the perfect air-fried cookie. And I’m sharing my secrets with you today.

How Long to Air Fry Cookies
The time it takes to air fry cookies will vary depending on the size and thickness of the cookies. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should air fry cookies for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). If the cookies are large or thick, you may need to air fry them for a few minutes longer.
