    Tips for making the best snickerdoodle.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Using fresh ingredients is essential to the success of this recipe. This is especially true with your dry ingredients (cream of tartar and baking soda).
    2. When placing the cookies into the air fryer basket, leave plenty of room between the cookies. This is both for expansion and for good airflow reasons.
    3. You will need to roll the cookie dough between your hands to make these cookies. If the dough gets sticky you can wet your hands with a bit of water.
    4. Since air fryers can vary in baking times, it is a good idea to check on the cookies as needed while they bake. However, these are fluffy cookies which means that a toothpick check can also help.
    5. The amount of cookies that can be airfired in a batch depends on the size of your air fryer. While it may seem like a good idea to crowd the cookies in the basket, doing so will cause your cookies to bake unevenly.
    6. Your cookies will be somewhat soft in the center when you take them out of the air fryer. The should set a bit while they cool however, this cookie is intended to be soft and chewy in the center.
