Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips
Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies With Chocolate Chips are soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with crisp edges, warm cinnamon, and plenty of chocolate chips. The dough cooks quickly in the air fryer, making these cookies an easy small-batch dessert when you want a fresh cookie fast.
Servings: 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup brown sugar

Notes
- These cookies will not spread very much in the air fryer. If you don't push them down before baking them then they will stay in a round ball. The thick balls of dough will bake quickly on the outside and prevent the cookies from spreading. They will also stay raw in the center if you don't flatten them.
- Make sure you line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or tin foil. I prefer parchment paper because it makes the bottom of the cookies smoother and they will come out easier.
- You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 6 months. Make balls of cookie dough, flatten them out, then freeze them. When they are completely frozen place them in a freezer-proof container. Bake just a few at a time when you get a cookie craving.
- You can bake these cookies in a regular oven preheated to 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. You do not have to flatten them if you bake them in a regular oven.
- It is not necessary to preheat the air fryer prior to baking the cookies. Since the air fryer is so small, it comes up to temperature very quickly. However, if you bake these in a regular oven, you need to preheat the oven.
- A #40 cookie scoop will give you 'walnut-sized' cookies.
