Kitchen notes

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 turning your machine into a convection oven.

The air circulates around cookies to bake like in a convection oven – without heating up the whole house!

Suited to small batches. Baking in an Instant Pot is admittedly not the best for making big batches – but is suited to when the craving hits and you want a few cookies to hit the spot.

Keep cookie dough on hand. We personally recommend 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!
