Instead of using a traditional oven, this recipe uses an air fryer to make the cookies. And trust me – they turn out delicious! If you're looking for a unique and tasty cookie recipe, then you have to try these Air Fryer Hershey's Red Velvet Blossom Cookies!

Ingredients 

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 48 unwrapped Hershey's Hug Candies

Instructions

  • Line your air fryer basket, with with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and medium speed for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides. Add the sugar and continue beating for 5 to 7 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract and food coloring, beating until evenly combined. Fold in the flour mixture and beat until mixed.
  • Slowly add the milk to the dough as the mixer runs, adding just enough to soften the dough.
  • Using a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough and shape it into balls. Place on the parchment paper about 1 inch apart.
  • Set the tray into the air fryer and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer set, set the time for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are puffed, and the edges are set. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before pressing one kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. The candies will look like they are melting but do not disturb them, and they will resolidify in the correct shape.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
