Pro Tips

• Use any flavor of Oreo cookie when making these.
• When making these air fryer oreos with crescent rolls, it may help to dunk the chocolate cookie in some milk to soften it up before wrapping it in the crescent roll dough.
• When rolling out the crescent dough, use your fingers or a rolling pin to seal the seams.
• Make sure the dough is fully sealed around the Oreo before frying. 
• Place in a single layer and leave space between the cookies to allow for the crescent dough to puff up a little. Cook in batches if necessary.
• It’s important to let the fried cookies cool down a bit before biting into them. And be careful as the center will still be hot. 
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Or dip in a sugar glaze.
• 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, so use the cook time listed as a guide, check for doneness, and adjust time as needed. Please consult your manual for best results.
