I made chocolate-chip cookies from premade dough in my oven, air fryer, and microwave.
The microwaved cookies were quick and gooey and the oven-baked treats were flat and crispy.
There's nothing more comforting than a warm chocolate-chip cookie to satisfy a sweet tooth but I recently began to wonder if the oven was the best appliance to use to make this treat.
I made chocolate-chip cookies in an oven, air fryer, and microwave to find out which appliance would yield the most delicious dessert. I've only ever made cookies in the oven, which is a relatively simple process, so I was eager to see how the other two methods would pan out.
Here's how each appliance stacked up.
