Description
Air Fryer Copycat Lofthouse Cookies are amazing! My kids went bonkers for these today, and they are so easy to make. But yet, for a great copycat recipe.
Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients:
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks room temperature unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Frosting Ingredients:
- ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ - 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream or milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Other:
- Sprinkles
- Parchment Paper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, add the butter, sugar, and sour cream, and cream them all together. (This will help you get a light and fluffy cookie)
- Add the eggs and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.
- Slowly fold in the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mix well.
- Roll the cookies into 2 inch balls.
- Line the air fryer with parchment paper, and then add your Air Fryer Lofthouse Cookie Dough to the Air Fryer Basket. Air Fry (using the air fryer setting) for 5-7 minutes at 320 degrees F. Remove and let cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, add the Icing Ingredients to a bowl, and mix well. Add a couple of drops of the food coloring until you get the color you wish. (I went with the iconic pink frosting color, but any color will do)
- Frost the cookies, and then add some sprinkles on top.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Cooking Spray
Notes
While today, I went with the iconic pink icing. You can really use any of the colors of the rainbow that you wish. Some other great colors for copycat versions:
- Yellow Frosting: Add a couple of drops of lemon juice to the frosting.
- Birthday Colors: This would make for a great birthday treat. Use the birthday boy/girl's favorite colors.
- Christmas Colors: Add red and green frosting.
- Easier: You can do all of the pastel colors.
- Patriotic Holidays: Patriot Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, use Red/Blue and White Colors.
