Air Fryer Cookie Dough Puff Pastry

Posted by: Authentic Flavors Made Easy

Flaky, buttery puff pastry wrapped around rich cookie dough and air-fried until golden brown, then finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate. This quick and indulgent dessert is crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 25–27 minutes
Servings: 8 pastries

Ingredients

For the Pastries

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
8 tablespoons heat-treated edible cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)

Optional Fillings

½ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons caramel sauce

For Topping

Powdered sugar
Melted chocolate
Caramel sauce
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares.
Place 1 tablespoon of heat-treated edible cookie dough in the center of each square. Add chocolate chips or other optional fillings if desired.
Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
Arrange the pastries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden.
Let the pastries cool for 5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Vanilla ice cream
Fresh strawberries
Whipped cream
Chocolate sauce
Caramel sauce
Hot coffee or cold milk

Tips

Use only heat-treated edible cookie dough in this recipe. Traditional raw cookie dough containing untreated flour and raw eggs is not safe to eat.
Avoid overfilling the pastries to prevent leaks during cooking.
Seal the pastry edges well with a fork to keep the filling inside.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F (160°C) for 2–3 minutes to restore the crisp pastry.
