Ingredients
- Pre-made Cookie Dough
- Pie Crust
- Egg Wash
- Chocolate Chips
- Flavor Add-ins (Nuts, dried fruits, or spices like cinnamon)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: If you’re using store-bought cookie dough, let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to work with.
- Roll Out the Pie Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie crust to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Add the Cookie Dough: Place a tablespoon of cookie dough in the center of each pie crust circle. Don’t overfill, as it can leak out during cooking.
- Seal the Pies: Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, and then crimp with a fork for a decorative touch.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and a splash of water. Brush the egg wash over the top of each hand pie for a golden finish.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Pies: Arrange the hand pies in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to check halfway through and flip them for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the hand pies from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey cookie dough inside!
