Air Fryer Snowball Cookies

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

Directions

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!
