• In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture is nice and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until they are incorporated.
• Slowly add the flour, about ¼ cup at a time. So it doesn’t go everywhere while using the hand mixer.
• Add the baking powder and salt with your last flour addition.
• Mix until all ingredients are blended. The mixture will look crumbly but easily comes together to form the dough.
• Place the sugar cookie dough into a plastic wrap in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• Roll the dough to a ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
• Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut the dough into pieces.
• Place in the air fryer.

  NOTE: I like to line my air fryer with parchment paper. DO NOT PREHEAT your air fryer with parchment paper alone.
• Cook in the air fryer at 320 degrees F. for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Let them stand in the air fryer basket for a few minutes then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
• Cool completely before frosting.

Sugar Cookie Icing

• While the sugar cookies are cooling you can prepare your icing. Mix the powdered sugar and milk together.
• Put the icing in a piping bag.
• Pipe the outline of the cookies first. This is a great way to create a barrier so the frosting won’t leak out.
• Decorate as desired with your favorite sprinkles or colored sugars.
• Happy Holidays!!!
