Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies (2024)

Once you’ve tried making air fryer oatmeal cookies, you’ll never look back!

Soft and chewy, with crisp edges, oatmeal cookies in the air fryer will turn any frown upside down!

Cookies in the air fryer are quick and easy to make and they taste even better than oven-baked cookies!

Easy Oatmeal Cookies!

Make homemade oatmeal cookies with this easy dough recipe that can be kept in the fridge for freshly baked cookies any time!
Freezer friendly! Freeze cookie dough balls and bake from frozen in the air fryer so they are ready for dunking and dipping!
Healthier than store-bought cookies, adjust the sugar amounts or mix in some wholesome and crunchy granola.
Best dessert! Make one or two giant cookies and serve them hot with a scoop of no-churn vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients and Variations

Cookie dough – Gluten-free flour and a sugar alternative can be used in place of regular. Use room-temperature butter and egg for faster blending.

Variations – Swirl in a spoonful or two of peanut butter, cocoa powder, or chocolate chips, or switch out the raisins for dried cranberries or blueberries, coconut, or chopped walnuts or pecans to make a new cookie every time!

How to Make Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies

Make these cookies even faster and fresher than Pillsbury!

Prepare cookie dough (per the recipe below).
Bake scoops of cookie dough on parchment paper in the air fryer until golden on the edges.

Air Fryer Tips & Tricks

For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop. This helps them bake evenly!
Bake one ‘test’ cookie to gauge the best cooking time for the cookie texture you want.
Subsequent batches will likely take less time to cook since the air fryer will already be hot.

Keeping Cookies Fresh

Air Fryer oatmeal cookies will last about a week if kept in an airtight container. Freeze baked and cooled cookies for up to a month in a freezer bag.

Put a slice of bread in with them to absorb additional moisture and keep them from crumbling apart. Re-crisp them in the air fryer and serve warm!

For high-rising cookies, avoid overmixing the dough.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before air frying so the cookies spread evenly.
