# Cookies in an air fryer

**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.
