Description

Air Fryer Holiday Slice and Bake Cookies are soft, buttery, and festive. Quick and easy to make, perfect for holiday parties, gifting, or a sweet seasonal treat.

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 sticks butter, room temperature and unsalted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Food Coloring: Pink and Red
  • 1/2 cup Sprinkles

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Slowly fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until fully combined. Divide the dough into three portions, adding red food coloring to one portion and pink to another.
  • Roll out the red and pink dough to about ½ inch thickness, then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from each color. Once all hearts are cut, stack them on a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the uncolored dough into a large log, then wrap it around the chilled hearts, pressing firmly to secure. Pour some sprinkles into a small dish and press them onto the outside of the dough log. Refrigerate the dough log for 2–3 hours to firm up.
  • After chilling, slice the dough into ½ inch pieces and place them on parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F on the air fryer setting for 5–6 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool—they will harden as they set.
