Ingredients Needed for Air-Fried Oreos
- Double Stuffed Oreos - These provide a rich, creamy filling that pairs perfectly with the crescent roll dough. Regular Oreos can be used if Double Stuffed Oreos are not available.
- Crescent Rolls Dough Sheets - Crescent roll dough wraps around the Oreos to create a crispy, golden-brown exterior. You can use regular crescent rolls if you prefer.
- Powdered Sugar - For dusting the hot Oreos, adding a touch of sweetness and a professional finish.
- Optional Extras - Peanut Butter, Cookie Butter, or Nutella adds an extra layer of flavor to each Oreo. Use about 1 tablespoon per cookie if desired.
How to Make Air Fryer Fried Oreos
- Start by opening one package of crescent roll sheets on a flat surface. Carefully stretch the dough to form a rectangular shape. Each package of crescent roll dough will make enough for 8 fried Oreo cookies. Use a knife to cut the dough into 8 equal squares by dividing it in half lengthwise and then cutting it into 4 equal portions in the opposite direction.
- Place one double-stuffed Oreo on top of each dough square. Optional: To make Stuffed Air Fryer Fried Oreos, place 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter, Cookie Butter, or Nutella in the center of each crescent square before placing the Oreo on top.
- Carefully wrap the crescent roll dough around each Oreo, ensuring it is sealed on the underside to prevent any filling from escaping during the cooking process.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Place the wrapped Oreos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there is enough space between each cookie for hot air to circulate.
- Air fry the Oreos for 2-3 minutes.
- Flip them over and fry again for another 2-3 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden brown color all over.
- Once the Oreos are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and immediately dust them with a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar.
- Serve the air-fried Oreos hot or cooled, depending on your preference. They taste great either way and are sure to delight your taste buds.
