Expert Tips

• Pan Size Matters: Use a pan that fits snugly in your air fryer basket for even baking.
• Don’t Overbake: The cookie cake will continue to cook slightly as it cools, so remove it when the center is just set for a soft texture.
• Custom Add-Ins: Try adding nuts, sprinkles, or white chocolate chips for variety.
