The Cookie & Bar Collection

Air Fryer Cookies and Bars

Every cookie and bar I have baked in a basket, from a seven minute peanut butter cookie to a twenty seven minute lemon bar. Cookies run at 325°F and bars at 320°F on this site, and each card carries the time, the batch size and the reason those numbers are what they are. Converting a recipe of your own?

20 cookie and bar recipes

7 min Peanut Butter Cookies Three ingredients, no flour, seven minutes. The one rule is not moving them until they cool, because sugar and peanut butter are all that hold them together. 7 min in the basket · 16 cookies

Air Fryer Snickerdoodles: Crisp Edges, Cinnamon Sugar Crackle

8 min Snickerdoodles Real cream of tartar and a generous cinnamon sugar coat at 325F. The crackle is a sequence you can watch: it puffs, the shell sets, then it falls and splits. 8 min in the basket · 24 cookies

8 min Chocolate Chip Cookies Small batch, one bowl, 325F for eight minutes. Crisp at the edge and deliberately soft in the middle, which means pulling them looking underdone. 8 min in the basket · 12 cookies

8 min Sugar Cookies Eggless cut-outs that hold their shape at 325F. Twenty four from one batch, and the flat tops take icing without sliding. 8 min in the basket · 24 cookies

8 min Monster Cookies Flourless and loaded: oats, peanut butter, chocolate and candies in one bowl with no mixer and nothing to cream. 8 min in the basket · 14 cookies

8 min Rice Krispie Treats No stove at all. The marshmallows toast in the basket first, which is a flavor the microwave version never gets near. 8 min in the basket · 9 squares

Air Fryer Refrigerated Cookie Dough: Pillsbury Times and Temps

8 min Refrigerated Cookie Dough Pillsbury and every other tube, at 320F rather than the 350F printed on the bag. Times by format, from squares to roll slices to tub scoops. 8 min in the basket

10 min Gingerbread Cookies One dough, two textures. Pull early for soft and chewy, or run it the full time for the snap that holds an icing line. 10 min in the basket · 24 cookies

10 min Thumbprint Cookies Fill the wells halfway, never full. That single rule is the whole difference between a jam center and jam welded to the parchment. 10 min in the basket · 16 cookies

11 min Frozen Cookie Dough Straight from the freezer with no thawing at 325F. Times by ball size, including the bakery-size pucks that need a lower dial instead of a longer clock. 11 min in the basket

12 min Shortbread Cookies Three ingredients and a low 300F, because pale is the point here. Shortbread that has browned has already gone past itself. 12 min in the basket · 12 cookies

12 min Coconut Macaroons One egg white, naturally gluten free, and 300F so the coconut turns golden at the tips instead of dark all over. 12 min in the basket · 14 macaroons

12 min Oatmeal Cookies Soft centers and lightly crisp edges. The oldest cookie recipe on this site and still the one that gets made on a weeknight. 12 min in the basket · 12 cookies

Air Fryer Blondies: Chewy Centers, No Oven Needed

20 min Blondies Melted butter, all brown sugar, and out at 165 to 175F while the middle still looks underdone. A blondie that looks done is overbaked. 20 min in the basket · 9 squares

22 min Brownies Deep and fudgy from one bowl at 320F, pulled early. The toothpick test lies about brownies, so this one runs on a thermometer instead. 22 min in the basket · 9 squares

24 min Brookies Cookie dough on the bottom, brownie batter over it, cookie coins on top as the foil-tent timer. One thermometer reading gets both layers right. 24 min in the basket · 9 squares

24 min Magic Bars Seven layers with the coconut buried under the condensed milk, which is the only place a basket cannot scorch it. Done when the edges bubble caramel-gold. 24 min in the basket · 16 bars

24 min Cheesecake Bars No water bath and no springform. The filling is shallow enough to bake evenly on its own, and the jiggle test is finally defined properly. 24 min in the basket · 16 bars

25 min Biscotti Twice baked, sliced at the fifteen minute mark. The second pass is what makes it biscotti rather than a sweet loaf you cut up. 25 min in the basket · 18 biscotti

27 min Lemon Bars A shortbread base, then curd poured on while the base is still hot. The chill is what sets it, not the bake. 27 min in the basket · 9 bars

Before you bake any of them

Cookies and bars fail in two places: the batch size your basket can actually take, and the minute you pull them. These four tools settle both, and they are free with no signup.

The guides behind these recipes

Every number on every card came out of these. If a batch spread flat, browned too fast or came out dry in the middle, the answer is almost certainly in one of them.
