Chocolate Chip Cookie. If you really want to make a decadent dessert, you can swap out the graham cracker for a chocolate chip cookie, or really any other favorite cookie of yours. Fudge Stripes also make for a great cookie to use for this recipe. You can use homemade cookies like these browned butter sugar cookies or Nutella chocolate chip cookies.

Tips for making the best air fryer s'mores
- The marshmallow might move while roasting in the air fryer, that's because the hot air is whirling around "frying" or "roasting" the marshmallow. To avoid having your marshmallow move too much, take your jumbo marshmallow and slice it in half. Place the sticky side onto your graham cracker halves. Aside from the gooey factor, that's why I recommend using large marshmallows because you can cut them in half and still have ooey gooey marshmallows.
- Cooking time may vary based on the size and type of air fryer you have. If you want more well-done s'mores, cook them for an additional minute until the marshmallows are roasted to your liking.
FAQs
Can I line my air fryer with parchment paper or aluminum foil?
You can! That can help with cleanup.
do i have to preheat my air fryer?
Yes! Think of your air fryer like an oven. For all the air fryer recipes you should be preheating. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, simply let it run empty at whatever temperature you need it to be at for 5 minutes.
