Works With All Types of Frozen Cookie Dough

Chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal, peanut butter, and more—all cook great in the air fryer.

Ingredients

• 1 package of Costco frozen cookie dough (pre-portioned or sliced)

• Optional:

  • Parchment paper or silicone liner (cut to fit)

  • Flaky sea salt, extra chocolate chips, or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set the air fryer to 300°F (149°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough

Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place cookie dough balls at least 1.5 inches apart to allow spreading. Do not overcrowd.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 300°F for 7–9 minutes for soft, gooey cookies

• Add 1–2 minutes for crispier cookies

• Mini cookies may only need 6–7 minutes

Check early—air fryer power and cookie size can vary. Cookies are done when golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center.

Step 4: Cool Before Serving

Let cookies rest in the basket for 3–5 minutes before removing—they firm up as they cool.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use Parchment or Liner

Helps prevent sticking and keeps dough from falling through the basket grates.

Avoid Overcrowding

Cookies spread! Bake in small batches with plenty of space between.

Top Before Baking

Press in extra chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkle with flaky salt before cooking.

Slightly Undercook for Gooey Centers

Pull them out when they look just underdone—they’ll set while cooling.
