Save Air fryer Oreos are the ultimate nostalgic treat made ridiculously easy. Imagine warm, gooey Oreos tucked in fluffy golden dough with just a dusting of sweet powdered sugar. They are always a hit at parties or late-night cravings and you do not even have to fire up your oven.
I whipped these up for a sleepover and they vanished before I could even plate them all. This is one of those desserts that guarantees ear-to-ear smiles for all ages.
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies: Choose regular or Double Stuf depending on how decadent you want the filling and make sure they are whole for best results
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough: Crescent rolls make the perfect wrapping since they bake up light and puffy in the air fryer Check the label to ensure a fluffy texture and avoid over-handling so they stay tender
- Powdered sugar: A snowy dusting adds a magical finish Use the finest sugar for a smooth look and consider sifting it to avoid clumps
- Nonstick cooking spray: This helps keep the dough from sticking to your air fryer basket Choose a neutral flavor spray like canola or avocado oil for best results
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set the air fryer to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit and let it heat for three minutes so the dough puffs up quickly and evenly
- Shape the Dough:
- Separate your crescent roll dough into twelve pieces Flatten each one gently with your fingers to make a round that is big enough to hug the cookies
- Wrap the Oreos:
- Place an Oreo in the center of each dough piece Then carefully gather the dough around the cookie and pinch the edges to seal completely so no chocolate sandwich shows
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket:
- Mist the bottom and sides of the basket with nonstick spray This helps prevent sticking and ensures each treat has a golden base
- Arrange the Wrapped Oreos:
- Lay your wrapped Oreos seam side down in a single layer in the basket Make sure they are not touching so the hot air can circulate Don’t be afraid to work in batches
- Air Fry Until Golden:
- Cook for six to eight minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown The scent will be heavenly and the dough should feel crisp on the outside
- Cool Slightly:
- Let your Oreos rest for two to three minutes before handling so the filling sets and you do not burn your fingers
- Dust with Powdered Sugar:
- Sift powdered sugar generously on top just before serving for that classic fair look and an extra hint of sweetness
Save The crescent dough is my favorite part because it gets that buttery texture with almost no effort and my family has started calling these cheat-day clouds Secretly I love that it takes longer to clean the air fryer than to actually make these
Storage Tips
Air fryer Oreos are best eaten straight away while the dough is warm and puffy If you do have leftovers keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day Reheat for a couple of minutes in the air fryer to restore their fluffiness
Ingredient Substitutions

Serving Suggestions
