Make the perfect dessert with minimal mess and delicious flavor.

Using just a few simple ingredients and an air fryer, this air fryer sandwich cookie recipe creates a crispy golden pancake around a warm, gooey cookie. It’s the perfect treat to whip up in minutes for parties, movie nights, or a sweet snack at home.

Yields: 18 cookies | Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 10 min | Total Time: 15 min


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • ⅔ cup water
  • cooking spray
  • 18 baking cups
  • 18 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  2. Spray cooking spray inside the baking cups.
  3. Mix pancake mix and water in a bowl until well combined.
  4. Dip each cookie into the pancake mixture, and place each one in a baking cup.
  5. Place the filled cups in the air fryer basket, making sure the cups are spread out enough to keep their round shape on the bottom.
  6. Cook for four to five minutes; then flip cookies and cook two to three minutes more, until golden brown.
  7. Remove cookies from the air fryer and place on a cooling rack.
  8. Sprinkle cookies with confectioners’ sugar.

Notes:

Make sure the pancake batter is thick so that it easily coats the entire cookie in one dip. Cook in batches if necessary. A small round cookie cutter can also be used after baking to make the cookies perfectly round.
