A fan-favorite carnival food made quickly, easily, and without the deep-fried mess at home in only 15 minutes!
Imagine enjoying all the goodness of a country-fair staple without the greasy, deep-fried feel or taste. That’s what you get when you make air-fried Oreos. Can we talk about this recipe for a few minutes? I mean, let’s get real here. This recipe is so good and so easy—and so un-messy (is that even a word?)—that you will be happy to make it often. Besides, it requires only 15 minutes, including preparation and time in the air fryer. Does life get any easier than that? I think not!
The next thing I love about this recipe is that it uses staple ingredients we often have on hand—things like milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, pancake mix, and sandwich cookies. If you have these ingredients, one bowl, a whisk, parchment paper, and an air fryer, you have all you need to make a delicious dessert for your family. Of course, no one would blame you if you whipped up a batch just for yourself. I can’t think of a better snack to enjoy while curled up on the couch watching my favorite rom-com.
Now, let’s talk about some pointers for making these cookies. First, remember to leave space between each cookie as they will puff up a bit. Cook them in a single layer and in batches if necessary. Next, make them right before serving. They are best fresh from the air fryer. Third, experiment with different flavored cookies and even dips. There’s nothing like lemon sandwich cookies with a lemon cream dip. You can even go churro-style and dust them with cinnamon sugar right out of the air fryer. I recommend using Mexican cinnamon for a more authentic taste.
The nice thing about this recipe is that it works equally well with gluten-free pancake mix and sandwich cookies. That way, no one has to be left out of the delicious treats. Regular or gluten-free—these air-fried cookies are sure to be a hit. Soft, creamy interiors that seemingly melt in your mouth with every bite.
Skip the batter—use crescent dough!
Now that you’ve mastered making air-fried Oreos and love everything about them, let’s switch things up a bit with an entirely different coating. It’s time to head to your local grocery store’s refrigerated dough section. Pick up a package of crescent roll dough and get ready to have some fun. Puff pastry sheets can also be used with this method. This is such an easy way to make these cookies that even your children can help.
I like to use a silicone baking sheet to spread out the dough in one large piece. You can also use a clean cutting board or other flat surface. Do not separate the sections. Instead, press down gently on the perforations to create a single large piece of dough. Next, use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rectangle into eight equal squares. Separate the squares and place an Oreo in the center of each piece. Cross each corner over the center of the cookie, folding in the sides to completely encase the cookie in the dough. Be careful not to stretch and tear the dough.
Then place the cookies, folded dough side down, on the oil-sprayed parchment paper in a preheated air fryer set to 350°F. You will notice that the crescent dough cookies use a lower heat than the battered ones in the recipe below. Keep an eye on them during cooking, as they may turn golden a little sooner than the battered ones.
How do I store leftovers?
Leftover air-fried Oreos should be cooled to room temperature, then refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They begin to lose their crispness quickly, so don’t expect them to last more than that. Besides, as easy as they are to make, you probably won’t mind whipping up another batch. Reheat them in the air fryer at the same temperature as you cooked them, or in a toaster oven, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the outside crisps up a bit again and the center warms.
