Notes

Cooking time is estimated and varies by air fryer model.
Do not eat raw dough because raw flour can carry germs.
Nutrition is an estimate for one serving of two cookies.
Times and nutrition are estimates. Follow your appliance instructions and check doneness.
Never preheat with a loose parchment liner. Keep any liner secured beneath food and away from the heating element.
