- 1 tablespoon sugar

- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Cooking
- Place the coated Oreos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, keeping space between each cookie to allow for even cooking.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the batter turns golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the basket.
- Dust with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
Notes
For serving, arrange the cookies dusted with powdered sugar on a platter. Consider offering dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel. To store, allow cookies to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers. They can last at room temperature for 1-2 days, a week in the refrigerator, and even longer if frozen. Reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
