The air fryer melted cookies hack sending TikToker's wild: 'You are a genius'
These delicious gooey cookies are hands-down the hottest snack around right now
If you’re looking for a warming winter treat that you can whip up in your air fryer, you’re going to want to bookmark this recipe now.
TikToker Daily with Deana has stunned fans with her delicious-looking air fryer melted cookies recipe, fetching more than 10 million views in a matter of days.
The viral air fryer recipe is ready in just eight minutes and offers up a gooey, melted mix of the classic Smores combination including chocolate and marshmallow but with a soft cookie dough layer on top. Yum?
The recipe starts by taking two plain biscuits and adding a piece of chocolate on top, followed by a marshmallow - but Deana says there's a trick to it. The marshmallow must be squished down so that it melts in with the chocolate.
On top of that is a large piece of ready-made cookie dough that completely covers the chocolate and marshmallow, ensuring that they are held together inside the cookie. Then, just pop it in the air fryer for eight minutes at 180 degrees Celsius and voila: the perfect gooey, melty chocolatey cookie.
