Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened;
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar;
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar;
- 1 large egg;
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract;
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour;
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder;
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda;
- 1/4 teaspoon salt;

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 325°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a piece of parchment paper. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
- If desired, sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles on top of each cookie.
