Description

Learn how to make delicious Air Fryer Snowball Cookies with our no mess recipe. Perfect for a quick and easy holiday treat!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter (120g) – dairy, non-dairy or plant-based butter
  • 5 tbsp powdered sugar (60g) – I use Wholesome Organic’s Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries (30g)
  • 1 tbsp pistachios (15g) – Raw pistachios, if possible. Otherwise, roasted and lightly salted


Instructions

  1. Place the softened butter in a glass bowl and beat with a hand mixer for around 2 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the powdered sugar using a silicone spatula, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Ensure the mixture becomes smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, a quarter cup at a time, using the spatula to blend it completely.
  5. Continue this process until all the flour is fully mixed in.
  6. Introduce the pistachios and cranberries into the dough.
  7. Gently fold the pistachios and cranberries into the mixture.
  8. Take 1 tablespoon of dough and gently form it into a ball with your hands.
  9. Line the air fryer basket with appropriate paper and lightly coat it with butter, then place the dough balls inside. Yields 12 cookies.
  10. Return the basket to the air fryer, set it to 340°F, and cook for 5 minutes.
  11. Once finished, immediately take out the basket from the air fryer.
  12. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
  13. Allow them to cool for approximately 10-15 minutes.
  14. Dust them with powdered sugar once more before serving!

Notes

  • For a more decadent taste, opt for high-quality butter like European-style butter.
  • Adjust the powdered sugar quantity for a sweeter flavor to suit your preference.
  • Get creative by trying various dried fruits and nuts to give a unique twist to this recipe.
