Line your air fryer basket with an air fryer parchment paper liner.
Remove 6 cookie dough squares from the package; refrigerate the remaining amount for later.
6 cookie dough squares
Roll each cookie dough square into a round ball in your hands. Flatten them slightly in the palm of your hand into about a 1½-inch circle.
Place the cookie dough rounds on parchment paper in the air fryer basket around the edges, spacing them evenly apart. Be sure to place the cookie dough rounds evenly to help hold the parchment paper in place while air frying. Avoid putting cookies in the center of the basket.
Air fry at 325°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown to your liking.
The cookies will be very soft. Allow them to cool in the basket for 5 minutes or until set. Use a spatula to carefully remove them to a wire rack for cooling, then serve and enjoy!

Notes
Nutrition is an estimate based on generic chocolate chip cookies. Please check the packaging of your refrigerator cookies for accurate nutrition.
Frozen cookie dough can be used. Just add a few minutes to the bake time.
For best results, place the cookies in a circle pattern around the basket (as shown in our pictures). This helps hold the parchment down. Additionally, in our testing, we found cookies placed in the center of the basket over the tray handle did not get completely baked.
Air fryer settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
Use air fryer parchment paper liners with holes.
This recipe does not require preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature, and start. If you do preheat, never preheat with parchment paper alone as it could fly up into your heating element and catch on fire.
For best results, don't crowd the air fryer basket. Air fry one batch of cookies at a time.
We tested this recipe in a 7-quart air fryer. If using a smaller air fryer, reduce the amount per batch. The cookies need space to spread and for the air to flow around them.
Just like baking cookies in the oven need to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, air fryer cookies need to cool in the air fryer basket to set up properly, as they will be too soft to handle at first. Therefore, be sure to follow the cooling steps as outlined in the recipe.
