Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I make these cookies in the oven?

Yes, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops slightly crack.

2. Why should I keep the dough cold between batches?

Keeping the dough cold helps maintain the shape and texture of the cookies.

3. How do I avoid overbaking the cookies?

Remove them from the air fryer when they are just golden. They will darken as they cool.

4. Can I substitute eggs with something else?

Yes, Greek yogurt can be used instead of eggs for a denser, protein-packed cookie.

5. Why should I let the cookies rest before removing them?

The cookies are very soft after cooking, so allowing them to rest helps them firm up.
