Air Fryer Snowball Cookies are amazing! If you haven't had a chance to taste these soft shortbread cookies, they will so melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, for added flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, for a warm spice note
- Chocolate chips, for a chocolatey twist
- Coconut flakes, for a tropical touch
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour, chopped nuts, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange the cookie balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the bottom.
- Once cooked, let the cookies cool for a few minutes. While they are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to coat.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, then dust with additional powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy your delicious snowball cookies!
