Recipe notes and expert tips
- Chill
Don’t skip the chilling time, if they aren’t chilled then they will spread too much and become very large and thin.
- Cool
When you remove the air fryer basket after baking, let your cookies cool for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack, because they can crumble if picked up when hot.
- Watch closely
Every air fryer cooks differently, different brands and capacities can mean that your cookies, will need either a longer or shorter cooking time, so make sure you keep a close eye on them.
How to store leftover cookies
Your air fried white chocolate chip cookies will keep for up to a week when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
You can freeze cookie dough and cookies made in the air fryer for up to 3 months.
Can you put raw cookie dough in air fryer?
Yes, you can put raw cookie dough in the air fryer.
You’ll need to use air fryer parchment paper and make sure you preheat your air fryer.
Can you use aluminum foil in an air fryer for cookies?
The answer is yes! You can use aluminum foil in an air fryer for cookies.
The foil will help to cook the cookies evenly and prevent them from sticking to the basket.
However, it is important to note that you should not put the foil directly on the heating element. Doing so could damage your air fryer.
We prefer to use air fryer parchment paper; this has got holes in so that the air can circulate around the cookies and we feel it gives a better cook.
