Okay, let me let you in on my latest kitchen obsession – these insanely delicious chocolate chip cookie dough stuffed wontons that cook in under 10 minutes in your air fryer. I stumbled onto this idea one lazy Sunday when my sweet tooth hit hard, but I didn’t want to wait for a whole batch of cookies to bake. The crispy wonton shell hugging that gooey cookie dough center? Absolute magic. And the air fryer gives them that perfect golden crunch without the mess of deep frying. My kids now beg for these as after-school treats, and honestly? I don’t blame them one bit.

Why You’ll Love These Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

Let me count the ways these little pockets of joy will steal your heart (and probably become your next dessert obsession):

  • Lightning fast – From fridge to plate in under 10 minutes when that cookie craving hits hard
  • That perfect crunch – The air fryer gives each wonton that irresistible crispy shell that shatters when you bite in
  • Almost too easy – Just 4 simple ingredients and zero fancy equipment needed
  • Kid magic – My littles go wild for these – it’s like getting to eat cookie dough for dinner (shh, our secret)

Trust me, once you try that warm, melty center against the crispy wrapper, you’ll be hooked just like we are.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

Here’s all you need to make these magical little treats:

  • 10 square wonton wrappers (about 3.5-inch size)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade, chilled)
  • 1 tbsp water (just for sealing those edges)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, but oh-so-pretty for dusting)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Listen, I’m all about making recipes work with what you’ve got! Here’s the scoop:

  • For my vegan friends, swap in your favorite plant-based cookie dough – it works beautifully
  • Gluten-free wonton wrappers exist and they crisp up just fine in the air fryer
  • Want less sugar? Try sugar-free chocolate chips in your dough

Watch out! Super wet fillings will make soggy wontons – keep that dough chilled until you’re ready to wrap.

How to Make Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

Okay, let’s get to the fun part – making these crispy little pockets of joy! I promise it’s easier than you think, and I’ll walk you through every step so they turn out perfect every time.

Step 1: Prepare the Wonton Wrappers

First things first – grab a clean, dry surface to work on. I like using my big cutting board. Lay out your wonton wrappers with some space between them so they don’t stick together while you’re working. Trust me, nothing’s worse than tearing a wrapper because it got stuck to its neighbor!

Step 2: Fill and Seal the Wontons

Now for the good stuff! Drop about 1 teaspoon of chilled cookie dough right in the center of each wrapper. Here’s my golden rule – don’t get greedy with the filling! Too much dough and your wontons will burst open in the air fryer (learned that the hard way). Brush the edges with water using your finger, then fold into triangles and press the edges together firmly. I like to give them an extra little pinch to make sure they’re sealed tight.

Step 3: Air Fry to Crispy Perfection

Preheat that air fryer to 350°F – this helps get them evenly crispy. Place your wontons in a single layer with some breathing room (no overcrowding!). If you want extra crunch, give them a quick spritz of cooking spray. Cook for 5-7 minutes, checking at 5 minutes – they should be golden brown and crispy. Let them cool for a minute or two before dusting with powdered sugar, or you’ll end up with a melty mess (still delicious, just messier!).

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds – no judgment!), here are my can’t-live-without tips:

  • Chill that dough first – Cold cookie dough holds its shape better and prevents messy leaks
  • Give them space – Overcrowding the air fryer basket leads to uneven cooking and soggy spots
  • Serve ’em hot – These are absolute perfection when eaten warm, with that melty center contrasting the crispy shell

Follow these simple tricks and you’ll get restaurant-quality results every single time!

Serving Suggestions for Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

Oh, the possibilities! These crispy delights shine all on their own, but here’s how I love to dress them up when I’m feeling fancy:

  • Plop a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and watch it melt into the warm wontons – pure heaven!
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel for that extra-decadent touch
  • Pair with fresh berries for a sweet-tart contrast that cuts the richness

My kids? They just grab them straight off the plate – no embellishments needed!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Here’s the deal – these wontons are absolute best fresh, but if you must save some (who has that kind of willpower?), pop them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. When ready to revive that crispy magic, give them just 2 minutes in the air fryer at 350°F. If they turn sad and soggy? Toss ’em – they’ve lost their sparkle.

FAQ About Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Wontons

Can I freeze these wontons? Absolutely! Freeze them before air frying – just place the sealed wontons on a tray until solid, then transfer to a bag. No need to thaw before cooking, just add an extra minute or two in the air fryer.

Can I use homemade cookie dough? Yes! Just make sure your recipe doesn’t contain raw eggs if that’s a concern for you. My favorite homemade dough works perfectly when chilled well.

Why did my wontons burst open? Oh honey, I’ve been there! The #1 culprit is overfilling – that teaspoon measure isn’t just a suggestion. Also, make sure to seal those edges really well with water and press firmly.

Can I make these ahead of time? You bet! Prep them up to 4 hours before cooking and keep refrigerated. The chilled dough actually helps them hold their shape better in the air fryer.

Nutritional Information

Let’s keep it real – these are definitely a treat, but here’s the scoop per wonton (based on average ingredients): about 70 calories, 2.5g fat, and 10g carbs. Remember, these numbers can change depending on your exact cookie dough and wonton wrappers – my homemade dough runs a tad richer than store-bought! But hey, life’s short – enjoy every crispy, chocolatey bite.
