Red Velvet Cookies

Method

  1. 1

    Mix cake mix, eggs, and oil until a thick dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips.

  2. 2

    Scoop 2-tablespoon balls and roll in powdered sugar. Chill 15 minutes for thicker cookies.

  3. 3

    Place 6 cookies in the air fryer with space between them. They spread.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 325°F for 7-9 minutes until the tops crack and edges set but centers look slightly underdone.

  5. 5

    Cool 5 minutes — they firm up as they cool. Sprinkle with flaky salt.

Pro tip. They look underdone when you pull them out — that's perfect. The residual heat finishes them. Overbaking makes them dry and cakey instead of fudgy and chewy.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 17 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
