Toll house Air Fryer Cookies

Chocolate chip Tollhouse air fryer cookies are easy to make when you don’t want to turn on your oven. Make a small batch for just 2 of you at a time in Ninja Foodi so they’re fresh! You can use refrigerated cookie dough, make batter from scratch or our semi-homemade Bisquick chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies in Air Fryer

You can make homemade cookies or use pre-made cookie dough found next to refrigerated biscuits. Pillsbury makes a bunch of different flavors. You can just slice and bake those, either way works with this timing. If you want from scratch we have a simple mix here.

• Butter
• Sugar
• Egg
• Brown sugar
• All purpose flour
• Vanilla
• Baking soda and salt
• Chocolate chips

Having a wire rack to cool them is helpful but not entirely a must. I mean sometimes we just eat them straight out of the pot!

Of course if you’re using Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough you’ll skip the mixing part which will save you a lot of time. This option is great if there are just a few of you.

How to Bake a Small Batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies

• To cook just 4 at a time just break apart.
• Preheat air fryer
• Place inside on top of parchment paper
• Cook for about 8 minutes
• Cook and enjoy
• Store rest of dough inside an airtight container or wrap roll of dough with plastic wrap and store in fridge.

You can do the same thing with homemade dough though, that decision is up to you. Use a cookie scoop to form balls. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then put frozen pieces in a freezer bag and store. You could just use packaged refrigerated dough and do this same thing with the same timing.

How Long to Bake Cookies in Air Fryer

How long to bake cookie dough in air fryer will vary depending on how large your slice is and/or your preferences. It will be about 6-8 minutes total unless you want them to be really crispy or they’re quite large, in that case you may add 1-2 minutes more. Keep an eye on them near the end by opening the basket. Once the middle no longer looks wet take the basket out and let them sit for a few minutes before lifting out and enjoying.

What else can we bake in air fryer?

There’s not a bake function per say but yes you can bake things like air fryer cake or air fryer banana bread in it. Then make cookies in an air fryer with the directions we share here in this post. There are TONS of great air fryer desserts you can make. The best part is you can make just enough for your family so it’s always fresh.

Premade Cookies in Air Fryer

Why do I love this idea? I mean do you really need to make cookies in an air fryer y’all? Hear me out. You know when you just want 1-2 cookies for dessert and really don’t want to make all 12, this is a great option. Another HUGE reason why you should bake in an air fryer is so you don’t heat up the house!

When it’s in the 90’s or 100’s during the summertime the last thing I am going to do is turn on my oven. Not happening. We’ve even revised our pizookie recipe to include air fryer instructions for this very reason.

• The third reason this has been a hit in our house is the kids are all about cooking themselves.
• Since they loved our chocolate chip cookie in a mug, this was a hit as well.

They’re tweens and teens so if yours are younger you might need to supervise a bit, but much safer than the oven.

Here are quick instructions. Ingredient amounts and a printable recipe card is located at the bottom of this post.

Ninja Foodi Cookies Recipe

• I always preheat my air fryer, this time we need to set it to 300 degrees F for 5 minutes.
• Break pre made cookie dough into pieces or make homemade dough.
• If from scratch, add sugars, egg and vanilla into mixer on medium until light and fluffy. In a small bowl mix dry ingredients and incorporate slowly.
• Put a piece of parchment paper into air fryer basket. Use small cookie scoop to form same size dollops on top. Close the lid that is attached.
• Bake 4 at a time with space in between.
• Close basket for 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and middle still looks soft. Larger cookies may take closer to a 10 minute cook time.
• Lift paper out on to a cooling rack and then enjoy.

Can you save homemade cookie dough?

Yes! It can easily be kept refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. Just cover with plastic wrap so it doesn’t out. To freeze homemade cookie dough just wrap it with plastic freezer wrap or into freezer bags.
