How To Make Air Fried Oreos

Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

1. Preheat Air Fryer to 360F/182C. 
2. Open the crescent roll tube and lay out the dough in a full sheet on the counter. 
3. Using a knife, line and cut out 9 even squares. 
4. Get your 9 Oreo Cookies, place 1 in each square of dough and wrap them up. 
5. Place the dough-wrapped cookies in the air fryer basket and cook 4 minutes. Flip and toss halfway through. 

Pro Tips

• When making these fried treats, it may help to dunk the chocolate cookie in some milk to soften it up before wrapping it in the crescent roll dough.
• Make sure the dough is fully sealed around the Oreo before frying. 
• It’s important to let the fried Oreos cool down a bit before biting into them. And be careful as the center will still be hot. 
• Don’t let them sit on your counter or in the refrigerator as they’ll harden up. These are best enjoyed right from the fryer.
• Air Fryer temperatures vary depending on the make and model. Please consult your manual for best results. 

Recipe Variations

Air Fryer Oreos are already little golden crispy bites of perfection, but it’s fun to experiment with variations like these; 

• Use different flavored Oreos: Try vanilla, red velvet, birthday cake, mint, or double-stuffed Oreos.
• Coat them: Roll the fried treats in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or sprinkles. 
• Use dipping sauce: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or strawberry jelly.     
• Swap the dough: use homemade dough or buttery flavored flaky crescent roll dough.  

Meal Prep And Prep Ahead

Fried Oreos are best enjoyed right after they’ve been made. If you let them sit too long they’ll harden up. You can pop them back in the fryer for a minute or two if needed though.

I don’t recommend letting them sit long or storing in the fridge. Besides guys, these treats are so great they really won’t last long. 

FAQs

What Kind Of Oreos Did You Use?

That’s the best part about this recipe: you can use any variety of Oreos that you like, or happen to have on hand.

Do You Need Oil To Fry These?

The beauty of the air fryer is that you don’t need any added cooking oil. However, if you know your fryer basket usually sticks to many items or dough, you can very lightly spray the basket before adding the dough covered Oreos.
