Deep-fried Oreos are a personal favorite dessert of mine at the fair. They’re fluffy, creamy, and chocolatey.
I’ve always considered them a delicacy because they were fried until I figured out how to make Air Fried Oreos.

I now can get that same fluffy, creamy, and chocolatey flavor without all the oil. It only takes two ingredients and 10 minutes to make these delicious Air Fried Oreos.
You only need to make them once to be completely hooked.
I made this recipe inside my Cosori Air Fryer. It has a square basket, which makes cooking foods, like these Air Fried Oreos in one layer much faster.
It’s perfect for my family of four and cooks all my food evenly!

How to Make Air Fried Oreos
I love using these with flaky layers crescent rolls. I personally used the butter variety, but you can use the original kind to avoid butter.
Spread out the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface, such as a cutting board or counter.
Lightly use your finger to press down on all the perforated lines. This allows the dough to become one piece.
Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the crescent roll sheet into 8 even squares. I like to cut the dough in half both ways then cut them into quarters each way from there.
Place one Oreo cookie in the center of each crescent roll dough square and roll all four corners inward on top of the Oreo.
Bunch the rest of the crescent roll over the Oreo, making sure it covers the entire sandwich cookie.
Do not stretch it too thin or it will break causing the Oreo to break through the dough.
How to Cook the Air Fryer Oreos
Preheat air fryer to 320 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
I like to preheat my air fryer when finishing up the last 3-4 Oreo cookies so you can put them all inside the air fryer as soon as you’ve finished wrapping them in the dough.
Place the Air Fried Oreos in the air fryer in a single layer leaving a small space between each one.
Do not stack or let them touch or they will stick together when cooked and cause the dough to cook unevenly.
If they all do not fit in your air fryer at the same time, you will need to cook in batches.
Cook the Air Fried Oreos at 320 degrees for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on the outside.
Carefully remove the Oreos from the air fryer and immediately dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Let cool for two minutes and enjoy!
These are almost as addictive as my Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings. It’s amazing how crispy they can get (and how easy they are to make).
Do I Need to Use Oil in This Recipe?
This air fryer recipe contains no oil. That means you don’t need to spray any oil on top of the crescent rolls to make this recipe.
Now, if your air fryer tends to stick on the bottom, I do recommend spraying the basket quickly with oil using an EVO oil sprayer. Do not use PAM spray as it can ruin your air fryer.
Are These Air Fried Oreos Vegan?
Pillsbury Original Crescents rolls are completely vegan.
Oreos on the other hand, are not completely vegan. Looking at package ingredients, they show all vegan ingredients, but there is more behind the scenes.
They cross-contaminate with milk making them not suitable for vegans. They are still completely vegetarian.
Air Fried Oreos
An air fryer take on deep-fried Oreos without the excess oil.

Searched for this recipe after Dax Shepard and Monica Padman mentioned them on their show. Kristen Bell makes them and they love them! WIll be trying soon!
That’s so cool they mentioned Air Fried Oreos on the show. I will have to take a look at that episode because I love them as a couple. These are so delicious that I eat a good half of them within 5 minutes of them coming out of the air fryer each time. lol.
YES! And they look so easy to make! Thanks for making easy recipes !
We haven’t had pillsbury products in the UK for years . I will look to see if there is an equivalent as they sound so tasty .
It’s the episode with Josh Gad. That’s the reason I looked for the recipe and found this site as well ?
LOL, here for the same reason! My kids are going to flip over these
Oh, just wait until they try them. They are just as good as they look! We make several batches each time.
I had to laugh when Monica and Dax talked about these on Armchair Expert. Dax always talks about being on a paleo diet, I don’t think one could get any further away from a paleo diet while devouring these. Ha ha! About to make them, I’m so glad they talked about them.
That’s the same reason I’m here!
OMG! These are sooooo easy and super yummy!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Kelli! They are my all-time favorite air fryer dessert.
Delicious! I only have a wire rack in mine so the bottoms wanted to stick when done, even with cooking spray on it. But the family loved them!
Made these last night and what a hit! Tried the lemon ones first. Now the kids want to try the others this weekend.
Yummy! I use my air fryer and no chocolate chips just sprinkle with powdered sugar and be sure to eat them warm.
Love that you used an air fryer for these! They will be a huge hit in my house!
Yes, you are going to LOVE these, Katy! My mom and sister are making them again as we speak because they were such a hit the last time I saw them.
I am going to try these with mini oreo s AND some chocolate dipping sauce!! These would be AMAZING with double stuff oreo cookies!
Yum! I love drizzling some chocolate sauce on top of them, so I can already tell you they will be delicious, Stephanie! Enjoy!
