Can I Use All of the Cookie Dough At Once?
You can make all 24 cookies in air fryer by mixing up a batch of the cookie dough just once. Use the entire roll of cookie dough, increasing pumpkin pie spice to 2 teaspoons, the cranberries to 1 cup and the chopped pecans to ½ cup as indicated in Step 1. While cooking one batch of cookies in the air fryer, keep the remaining dough covered and refrigerated. Repeat with remaining dough to make 4 batches of cookies; 6 cookies each.
Why Do Air Fryer Cookies Lose Their Shape?
Cookies in the air fryer sometimes lose their shape. It doesn’t happen all of the time, but if it does, after baking, use a metal spatula to gently push in the edges of the cookies to reshape them.
