Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Røreskaal
- 1 Electric mixer
- 1 Bagepapir (til airfryer)
- 1 Brush
- 1 Cooling rack
Ingredients
Dough
- 200 g butter Soft, at room temperature
- 150 g sugar
- 1 pcs egg Medium
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 300 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Topping
- 1 pcs egg For brushing
- 50 g pearl sugar
- 50 g chopped almonds
Instructions
Preparation
- Beat 200 g butter and 150 g sugar until pale and fluffy with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 pcs egg and 1 tsp vanilla sugar, and continue beating to a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Sift 300 g plain flour and 1 tsp baking powder into the bowl, and stir gently together to an even dough. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes in the fridge, so it's easier to shape.
- Roll the dough into small balls of about 25 g, and press them lightly flat with your fingers.
Topping and cooking in the airfryer
- Preheat the airfryer to 160 °C fan setting.
- Beat 1 pcs egg together, and brush the balls with the egg. Sprinkle generously with 50 g pearl sugar and 50 g chopped almonds.
- Place the cookies on a piece of baking paper in the airfryer basket with plenty of space, as they spread during baking. Bake at 160 °C for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack, so they turn completely crisp before serving.
Notes
Tips for the perfect result:
Use room-temperature butter — that's the key to a light, tender texture. Beat the butter and sugar thoroughly until pale, so the cookies turn out airy. Bake in several batches, so the cookies don't sit on top of each other. Variation:
Swap the chopped almonds for hazelnuts or pistachios, or stir grated lemon zest into the dough for a fresh twist. Serving:
Serve with coffee, hot cocoa or with the Christmas cosiness. The cookies can also be packaged as a homemade hostess gift. Portion size:
The recipe makes about 30 cookies. If your airfryer is smaller, bake them in several batches without filling the basket completely.
