Ingredients

  • 1 Roll Pillsbury Ready To Bake Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Slice the roll of cookie dough into ¼" thick pieces.*
  • If you choose to add sprinkles, dip one side of cookie dough into a shallow bowl filled with sprinkles.
  • Line the basket of the air fryer with parchment paper or a cookie sheet appropriate for your specific air fryer.
  • Space out cookies on the tray or parchment paper, leaving about 2" of space between each cookie. If you are using parchment paper, make sure the paper is filled to keep it from blowing up as the air circulates.
  • Add the basket to the fryer and make sure the setting is on air fry, the temperature is at 350°, and the timer is 5-6 minutes** if baking on parchment paper (4-5 minutes** if baking on a cookie sheet). Start the air fryer.
  • The cookies will be in the fryer for the preheat. Leave in for the remainder of the time.
  • Once the timer ends, remove the basket and allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

*Pillsbury calls for cutting the slices ½" thick. I wanted these cookies to come out more crispy, so I reduced this to about ¼" thickness. You can try thicker, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
**Baking times may vary based on your specific air fryer.
Store unused dough in a tightly sealed freezer bag in the refrigerator up to the date on the package. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
