cookies in an air fryer
160 °C / 320 °F for 6–9 min
Oven equivalent: 180 °C / 356 °F for 10–14 min
An air fryer is a small convection oven, so cookies cooks at 160 °C rather than 180 °C and takes 6–9 min instead of 10–14. That is roughly the usual 20 °C drop and a fifth off the time.

What goes wrong
- Baking parchment underneath, weighted by the dough. Loose parchment gets sucked into the element and can catch fire.
- The fan blows soft dough around before it sets. Chill the dough firm first.
- They will look underdone when the time is up. They set as they cool.
Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard.
