How To Bake Cookies In an Instant Pot
Baking cookies in an instant pot or ninja foodi - using the bake function with the broiler lid - is incredibly easy, but there are a couple steps you can take to make it even easier!
When using the broiler lid on an instant pot or ninja foodi, you're really turning your machine into a convection noven.
The air circulates around cookies to bake just like in a convection oven - without heating up the whole house!
Baking in an Instant Pot iss admittedly not the besst for making big batches - but is perfect for when the craving hits and you want a few cookies to hit the spot.
I personally reccomend making up a big batch of this cookie dough and keeping in the fridge, so you can bake cookies in a flash anytime you want to indulge!
