Air Fryer Cookies Time & Temp Guide

By Airfryer Conversion Chart Culinary Team • Reviewed on 2025-08-16

Air fryer cookies are a quick way to get freshly baked treats without heating up your oven.

In our tests with the Ninja AF101 and Cosori Pro II, the best results came at 6–7 minutes at 320°F (160°C) for soft and chewy cookies, or 7–8 minutes at 330°F (165°C) for crispy edges.

You can cook cookie dough balls directly from frozen — just add an extra 1–2 minutes. Always space them out evenly to prevent spreading.

Pro tip: Let cookies cool for 3–4 minutes after air frying. They’ll continue to set, giving you the perfect chewy texture.
