🍽️ Tips for the Best Air Fryer Stuffed Cookie Bombs
- Don’t Overstuff: Too much filling will cause leaks! Stick to about 1 teaspoon per cookie.
- Seal Well: Make sure there are no openings, or the filling might ooze out.
- Chill the Dough: If your dough is too soft, chill it for 20 minutes before shaping.
- Line Your Basket: Use parchment paper or lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
- Watch Closely: Cooking time varies by air fryer model, so check around 7 minutes to avoid over-browning.

❓ Common Questions & Answers
1. Can I use store-bought cookie dough?

Absolutely! Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
4. How do I reheat them?
Pop them back in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
5. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Try caramel, white chocolate, Biscoff spread, or even fruit preserves for a twist!
