Ingredients

• 1 package Great Value Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix

• Ingredients as listed on the package (usually egg, butter, or water)

• Optional: extra cinnamon-sugar for rolling

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Follow the package instructions to mix your cookie dough. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes if you want thicker cookies.

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes. Lower heat helps avoid over-browning.

Step 3: Shape and Arrange the Dough

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2–4 balls in a single layer on parchment paper or an air fryer-safe baking insert, leaving room for spreading.

Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection

Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 6–8 minutes. Cookies will be golden on the edges and soft in the center when done.

Step 5: Let Them Set

Let cookies rest in the basket for 3–4 minutes after baking. They will finish setting and be easier to remove.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Serve warm or transfer to a rack to cool completely. Perfect with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use Parchment or Silicone Liners

Prevents sticking and helps cookies maintain their shape.

Chill the Dough for Thick Cookies

Chilling prevents cookies from spreading too much in the air fryer.

Check Early

Every air fryer cooks differently—start checking at 6 minutes to avoid over-baking.

Customize Your Cookies

Add white chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or a dusting of nutmeg for a creative twist.
