The Essential Air Fryer Cookbook for Two

The holidays are just not the holidays without Sugar Cookies.  Yes I do make the regular kind that you roll out, cut into shapes & then frost.  I swear- I do that…..sometimes.   But when the hubs asks for Sugar Cookies & I just don’t feel like that kind of mess- I go this route.   This recipe is easy, quick & you just roll them in a ball like you would Snickerdoodles.  The frosting is quick & everyone is happy.  You can make these as easy or as complicated as you have time for & that is what I love about them.  PLUS they are chewy. They never last long.  Hubs likes to have some with his morning coffee & then I find him grabbing a few more throughout the day.
