Notes
- This recipe makes 8 air fryer fried oreos, and the indicated serving size is two each.
- While you may have to work in batches due to the size of your air fryer basket, you can easily double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd.
- Go for the original crescent rolls or the butter flavored ones here, but avoid using any that are labeled as 'reduced fat' or 'fat free'. The consistency in those dough's is different and they won't cook correctly.
- We recommend pinching all the seams together and cutting the large dough sheet into 8 equal squares; however, you can use the dough as is by cutting into 8 triangles along the perforated lines if you prefer. When ready to prepare add a cookie to the widest end, then roll up and around squeezing the dough as necessary until it's the cookie's completely covered and the dough around it's sealed.
- Don't stretch the dough too thin when covering the cookies or it will break.
- Use a fine mesh sieve, or sifter, to spread the powdered sugar so it's a fine mist instead of clumpy. This will lead to more even covered, and also prevent too much sugar from dumping onto a single cookie.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar out over the fried oreos while they're still warm so that it sticks better.
