Storage
Fridge: Seal the container or bag tightly to keep out moisture. Place the container or bag of cookies in the refrigerator, maintaining a consistent temperature. Matcha cookies stored in the fridge can typically stay fresh for up to one week.
Freezer: First, allow the cookies to cool completely after baking. Once cooled, transfer the cookies to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. If the cookies are fragile, consider layering them with parchment paper or placing them in single layers separated by wax paper to prevent sticking or breakage.
Test Kitchen Tips
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper this will prevent the cookies from browning too much on the bottom.
- Also, it’s important that you don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the cookies cook evenly.
- I made these into matcha chocolate chip cookies, however, if you are not a fan of chocolate you can leave the chocolate out altogether.
FAQ
Preheating the air fryer is generally not necessary for cookies. However, if your specific air fryer model requires preheating, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check the cookies a few minutes before the recommended baking time. The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly firm to the touch. Remember that the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Yes, you can store air fryer matcha cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. However, their texture may become less crispy over time. For longe
