Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Valentine’s Day Heart Sugar Cookies

• Baking Powder

• Salt
• Butter
• Eggs
• Pure Vanilla Extract

How To Make Air Fryer Valentine’s Day Heart Sugar Cookies

Cream together the butter, salt, and sugar in a large bowl mix well, and fold in your eggs, buttermilk, and pure vanilla extract. Mix well, then slowly fold in your all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well, scrape the sides, continue to mix until your dough forms.

Place the dough into a bowl, and then refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Roll out the cold dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.

On a floured surface, use your cookie cutter, and cut your out cookies. Place them in the air fryer basket, which has been lined with parchment paper. Air Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Let cool before decorating them.

We’ll cover everything from frosting and icing to sprinkles and candy. So grab your favorite cookies after they have cooled down, and start decorating!

Frosting: You can either make homemade frosting, royal icing, buttercream frosting, or even my favorite recipe for cream cheese frosting. My favorite store-bought icing is vanilla icing by Pillsbury.

Decorations: You can add any sprinkles you want. I love a great red, white, and pink sprinkle variety. You can also use baking sugar in traditional Valentine’s Day colors!

How To Store:

What’s the best way to store sugar cookies? That is one question that many cooks ask but do not know the answer to. If you want to make these ahead of time, the best way to store sugar cookies, so they stay fresh and crispy:

• Use a Cookie Jar with a tight seal to keep air out.
• Freeze them in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag.
• Store them in a Tupperware container lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

How To Freeze These Cookies:

These cookies freeze nicely too! Just let the cookies come to room temperature, then pack them in a ziplock bag (or freezer bag) and store them for future use.

When you’re ready (or need), take one out of storage at your convenience- either by warming it up on the kitchen countertop or placing them into the refrigerator overnight.
