Making sugar cookies in the air fryer is a great way to get them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer sugar cookies:
Air Fryer Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
- Air Fry the Cookies:
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should still be soft in the center.
- Check at the 5-minute mark and adjust the time as needed. Do not overcook, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool in the air fryer basket for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your crispy yet soft air fryer sugar cookies! They’re perfect for a quick treat and can be customized with sprinkles or icing if you like.
