Other FAQ Suggestions:
  • Do I Need to Refrigerate the Dough Before Air Frying the Cookies?You actually don't! All you need to do is prepare the dough, and air fry it right away- no refrigeration needed.
  • What Other Flavor Variations Can I Bring? Replace the mini chocolate chips with caramel chips or butterscotch chips or even peanut butter chips.
  • How Do I Know if the Air Fryer Monster Cookies Are Done? The general rule of the thumb is that the cookies should be ready within 6-8 minutes of being air fried.
