If you love Oreos and croissants, this recipe basically combines the best of both. Warm, buttery crescent dough wrapped around a soft, melty Oreo cookie – all done in the air fryer.

I have made these air fryer oreo stuffed croissants more times than I can count. They are that easy and that good.

The whole recipe comes together in under 10 minutes with just a few basic ingredients. No long prep, no waiting around, no complicated steps.

Whether you are making them for yourself or sharing with others, these little stuffed croissants always disappear fast. Let me show you how to make them.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Only 4 Ingredients – You just need crescent dough, Oreos, melted butter, and powdered sugar. That’s it. You probably already have most of these in your kitchen right now.

Ready in Under 10 Minutes – From wrapping the Oreos in dough to pulling golden croissants out of your air fryer, this whole recipe takes just a few minutes. It’s one of the fastest air fryer desserts you can make.

The Oreo Gets Warm and Soft Inside – The air fryer heats the Oreo just enough so the cream filling gets slightly melty and the cookie softens up. It’s a completely different experience from eating a regular Oreo.

Ingredients

• 1 can Refrigerated Crescent Dough
• 8 pack Oreo Cookies
• 1 tbsp Melted Butter
• 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar

How to Make

Step 1

Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.

Step 2

Place one oreo cookie at the wide base of each dough triangle.

Step 3

Roll the dough up starting from the base, completely wrapping the cookie, and pinching the edges slightly to seal.

Step 4

Place the rolled pastries in the air fryer basket and brush the tops lightly with melted butter.

Step 5

Air fry at 320F for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Let them cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before eating.

Tips

Keep the Dough Cold

Take the crescent dough out of the fridge right when you’re ready to use it. If the dough sits out too long and gets warm, it turns soft and sticky, which makes it really hard to wrap around the Oreos without tearing.

If you notice the dough getting too soft while you’re working with it, just pop it back in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up again. Cold dough is way easier to handle and gives you a cleaner wrap every time.

Seal the Dough Tight

After you roll the dough around the Oreo, take a few seconds to pinch and press the seams together so there are no gaps. If there’s an opening, the cookie can peek through during cooking and the melted cream filling can leak out into your air fryer basket.

Pay extra attention to the tip of the triangle where the dough ends. Press it firmly into the rest of the roll so it doesn’t pop open while air frying. A tight seal is what keeps everything wrapped up nice and neat.

Don’t Skip the Butter

Brushing the tops with melted butter before air frying makes a big difference. It helps the outside get that golden, slightly crispy finish that you want from a croissant. Without it, the dough can look pale and dry even when it’s fully cooked.

You only need a light coat – just a thin layer across the top is enough. Too much butter can cause dripping and smoking in your air fryer, so keep it light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to preheat the air fryer before making these?

It is a good idea to preheat your air fryer at 350°F for about 2 to 3 minutes before placing the croissants inside. Preheating helps the dough start cooking right away so you get a crispier, more evenly browned result.

If you skip preheating, you might need to add an extra minute or two to the total cook time. It is not a dealbreaker, but preheating really does make a noticeable difference with pastry dough.
