  • Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit your air fryer. Do not use more than one layer of parchment paper and do not have flaps of parchment paper going up the sides of the air fryer or it will flip the cookies.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, spoon four cookies onto the prepared sheet of parchment paper, and give them up to 2 inches apart, if possible.
  • Using a fork, press it gently one way, and then again the opposite way, onto the top of each cookie. Move slowly and coax the fork off of each cookie, gently, or you might make a mess of them. Don’t press the fork too deep as you don’t want to sever the cookie, just flatten it a bit.
  • Air fry at 370 degrees for 6.5-7 minutes, then immediately pull the basket out and let them rest for 10 minutes, undisturbed.
  • Transfer the cookies, gently, onto a clean sheet of parchment paper.
  • Repeat until all the cookies are finished. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can make the dough in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Don't handle the cookies until they are set or they will fall apart! This includes not doing the cup trick to make them perfectly round.
  • You can use a replacement sugar as long as it's not liquid.
  • If you use thicker parchment paper, the cookies won't cookie evenly.
