Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into a log or into a flat disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to slice. After chilling, cut the dough into 1/4-inch thick slices or press it into a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Lightly grease the basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the cookie slices or cutouts in the basket, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Air fry for 6-7 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
Cooling: Let the cookies cool in the basket for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy! Serve these delicious shortbread cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon snack. You can also sprinkle them with a little extra powdered sugar for added sweetness!
Tips for Perfect Shortbread:
Butter: Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in your cookies.
Chilling the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step—it helps the dough hold its shape and results in a better texture.
Air Fryer Variation: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
Enjoy your freshly baked, air-fried shortbread cookies with minimal effort and maximum flavor!
