Super easy air fryer cookies recipe makes zesty snacks in 30 minutes
Cookies couldn't be easier to make in minutes than with this air fryer recipe crafted by Jamie Oliver.
Cookies can seem undercooked when in fact, they're ready to be removed from the oven and enjoyed while still a little soft.
This is notoriously hard to get right when battling a large, hot oven, which is why Jamie Oliver suggests using an air fryer instead.
Sharing his recipe for air-fryer oat cookies online, the British chef described the sweet treats as "super easy to make".
The spiced oat cookies take just 30 minutes to whip up and are flavoured with sultanas and lemon zest.
What's more, they cost just 18p per serving when buying the ingredients at Tesco, 20p per serving with Sainsbury's, or a mere 16p at Ocado.

How to make air fryer cookies
Start by melting the butter and golden syrup together in a bowl. This is best done in a pan on over low heat on the hob, or in a microwave set to 800W (or the highest setting).
Take care not to burn the ingredients by melting them in short bursts if using the microwave (around five to 10 seconds).
Next, finely grate the lemon zest into a large bowl then add the remaining dry ingredients - porridge oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda, and sultanas.
Now add the melted butter mixture to the bowl and stir until everything is combined. Add one tablespoon of water to loosen slightly.
Divide the finished mixture into three portions, then roll each piece into five even-sized balls (there should be 15 in total).
Take the balls and squash them in the palm of your hand one at a time. If you want to save the dough for later, you can freeze the individual portions at this stage.
If cooking straight away, transfer to the air fryer (this recipe was tested in a 4.2-litre fryer), leaving a 1cm gap between each one.
It may be best to do this in batches if you have a smaller fryer. Bake the cookies at 175C for 15 minutes, then carefully remove them and leave to cool for five minutes.
Transfer the cooked to a wire rack. Meanwhile, cook the remaining batches if you have any mixture left.
