Cooking

- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.

- Allow cookies to cool in the basket for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before air frying to minimize spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Can freeze cookie dough for future use.
