💭Air Fryer Sugar Cookies
Baking cookies in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh, warm cookies without having to turn on the oven.
The key to success is to start with a good recipe and then follow a few simple tips:
- When baking cookies in the air fryer, it is important to preheat the appliance and use a light coat of cooking spray.
- Cook for six minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. With a little practice, anyone can master the art of baking sugar cookies in the air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cookie dough according to your recipe or favorite mix.
- Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and use a fork to press down on each cookie to flatten it slightly.
- Be sure to leave enough space between cookies so that they have room to spread while baking.
- Place the cookies in the preheated air fryer, and bake for eight minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy your fresh-baked cookies while they're still warm! Check out my recipe for Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies for more tips.
