Since I like to make just a few cookies at a time, I will refrigerate or freeze the remaining cookie batter to make more cookies later. If you choose to do this, I recommend that you scoop out the cookies first and refrigerate or freeze them and then let the scooped cookies get to room temperature before air frying.
