Air Fryer Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
Simple, small batch low calorie chocolate cake mix air fryer cookies begin with a box of Devil's Food Cake and are ready in less than 20 minutes!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Devil's food cake mix
- 3 tablespoons egg whites (about 1 egg)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon No sugar added peanut butter chips (I used Lily's)
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients. Add parchment paper to air fryer basket - make sure to leave enough room around the edges for air circulation.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, egg white and pureed pumpkin until combined. The batter will be thick and sticky. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop the batter in 8 equal size mounds on the parchment paper. If your air fryer basket isn't larger enough, you may have to bake two separate batches of 4 cookies.
- Adjust the air fryer to 350F degrees and cook for about 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cookies comes out clean. (Repeat with remaining batter if necessary.)
- All cookies to cool for a few minutes before removing from the parchment.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 2 PointsPlus (Old plan) After 5 minutes at 350F degrees in the air fryer, the cookies we done on the outside but undercooked and mushy in the middle. This was unexpected since I tested the cookies with a toothpick which came out clean without crumbs, so assumed they were done. And felt like I couldn't bake any longer because the outsides would burn. When I try these again, I am going to experiment with lowering the temperature of my air fryer and increasing the time by a minute or two. If you've had success making air fryer cookies, please comment below and let us know how you did it! I substituted Lily's Peanut Butter Flavor Baking Chips with no sugar added. Lily's makes a range of no sugar added baking chips, including: Chocolate Cinnamon, Chocolate Salted Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Semi-Sweet Chocolate and White Chocolate. Other optional mix-ins include: mini M&M candies, chopped Heath toffee bars, Caramel Sea Salt baking chips (Trader Joe's), shredded coconut or chopped Almond Joy, salted chopped peanuts, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries or raisins, chopped pretzels, etc. We much preferred the taste and texture of the chocolate cookies that were baked in the toaster oven versus the air fryer version. The toaster oven cookies were more visually appealing, lighter and fluffier in texture. The air fryer cookies seemed more dense, chewier (not really cooked all the way through) and much smaller in size. I want to keep experimenting with baking cookies in my air fryer, but this will require testing as I try cooking on a lower temperature for a little bit longer to achieve the results I'm looking for in a cookie.
