Description

This Air Fryer Giant Oatmeal Cookie Recipe offers a quick and easy way to bake soft, gooey cookies with a perfect balance of oats and chocolate chips or raisins. Utilizing the air fryer, these cookies bake to a lightly browned outside while remaining underdone and chewy inside, finishing their bake as they cool for the ideal texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Dash of cinnamon (optional)

Flavor Ingredients

  • ¼ cup quick oats
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure consistent baking temperature.
  2. Melt Butter: Place the butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl and microwave it until melted, providing a smooth base for the cookie dough.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the brown sugar, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the melted butter, mixing well with a fork until fully combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon until the mixture is uniform. Then fold in the quick oats and your choice of chocolate chips or raisins.
  5. Form Cookie Dough: Divide the dough into two balls and flatten each slightly to form cookie shapes that will cook evenly in the air fryer.
  6. Prepare for Air Frying: Place each cookie dough ball onto a sheet of air fryer parchment paper, ensuring enough space between cookies and the basket edges to allow air circulation.
  7. Air Fry Cookies: Insert the basket into the preheated air fryer and cook for 5 minutes. The cookies will have a browned exterior but remain slightly underdone on the inside.
  8. Press Extra Toppings: Remove the basket from the air fryer, leave the cookies inside, and immediately press a few additional chocolate chips or raisins on top of each cookie if desired for an enhanced look and flavor.
  9. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool for at least 20 minutes before handling to allow them to firm up and finish baking. For less gooey texture, cool for a few hours.

Notes

  • Cookies are meant to be gooey and underdone inside; to bake more thoroughly, add one minute to cooking time but expect a browner exterior.
  • If parchment paper curls and distorts cookie shape during baking, immediately after air frying, use a bowl slightly larger than the cookie to gently reshape it by swirling the bowl over the cookie and pressing additional chocolate chips on top.
  • Allowing cookies to cool longer results in a firmer texture.
