The Best Temperature to Bake Refrigerated Cookies in an Air Fryer

In this recipe, I used Nestle Tollhouse Ultimates Chocolate Chip Lovers Cookie Dough that I purchased from Target. You can also use Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough or any other brand and flavor.

The Nestle Tollhouse company recommended baking the cookies in the oven at 350°F for about 13 minutes.

When baking the cookies in an air fryer, it will reduce the amount of cooking time by 40%, to just about 8 minutes at 325°F.

Step 2. Place Cookies on an Air Fryer Basket

  • Place parchment paper on the bottom of the air fryer basket and lightly grease with oil.
  • Do not thaw the refrigerated cookie dough. Chilled cookie dough is better because it produces crispy edges, a nice golden brown color, and a chewier texture.
  • Break along pre-scored lines.
  • Place about 6 cookies in a basket, in a single layer.

FAQ and Cooking Tips

Can refrigerated cookie dough be frozen?

Yes, you can. First, you need to shape the dough into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once solid, tightly wrap the balls with plastic wrap. Place the cookie balls into a large ziplock and press out as much air as possible. Properly stored the cookie dough will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

How do I know if my cookies are baked?

You know the cookies are baked if they have golden firm edges but still soft in the center part.

Where can I purchase refrigerated cookie dough?

You can purchase refrigerated cookie dough at any grocery market, such as Kroger/Ralph's, Target, Walmart, Vons, Albertsons.
