Remove the premade cookie dough from the package and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F.
Once the dough has softened, take small portions and make them into balls. Make sure they are all about the same size for even baking.
Place the cookie dough balls in the basket of the air fryer with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one so they can expand during baking.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes (6-8 minutes for homemade dough); check them while baking.
Let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the air fryer basket, then remove the cookies from the air fryer with a spatula or tongs and then transfer to a wire rack.
