In a medium bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the flour and salt, mixing until incorporated. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. 3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. 4. Roll the dough into 1 ½-inch balls, and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb or the back of a round measuring spoon to press a small hole in the center of each ball. 5. Bake for 10 minutes, until slightly firm, then remove baking sheets from the oven. Use the spoon to press into the indentations in each cookie again, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 6. In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl until smooth. Divide the icing in half and add a few drops of food coloring to each, whisking to incorporate. Add more milk if needed, but not so much it becomes runny. Pour icing into plastic zipper bags, snip off a corner, and fill the center of each cookie. Allow to dry and set overnight. 📝Air Fryer Digital Cookbook: https://everydayfamilycooking.thrivecart.com/delicious-air-fryer-recipes-ecookbook/?coupon=SPECIALDEAL8 🛍PRODUCTS USED IN RECIPE (affiliate): Small cookie scoop: https://amzn.to/3XFl4y0 Food coloring: https://amzn.to/3imGsbb 🛍ALWAYS IN MY KITCHEN (affiliate): My go-to air fryer: https://amzn.to/3flKb74 Air Fryer Parchment Paper: https://amzn.to/3rmkWo8 Oil Mister: https://amzn.to/3E9J6ty Air Fryer Silicone Liners: https://amzn.to/3y7XHlw Ninja Foodi NeverStick Pan: https://amzn.to/3C0Y16y TIMESTAMPS: Intro: 00:00 Mix wet ingredients: 00:08 Add flour and salt: 00:27 Chill cookie dough: 00:37 Scooping thumbprint cookies: 00:47 Press down in center: 00:59 Baking time: 01:04 Make the icing: 01:06 Ice the cookies: 01:53 Final presentation: 02:07 FOLLOW ME: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/everydayfamilycooking/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/everydayfamilycooking AIR FRYING GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/deliciousairfryerrecipes PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/everydayfamilycooking CONNECT: WEBSITE: https://www.everydayfamilycooking.com MY AIR FRYER RECIPES: https://www.everydayfamilycooking.com/category/air-fryer-recipes/ Disclaimer: product links may include affiliate links. #everydayfamilycooking #icedcookies #christmascookies #easycookies #holidaycookies #christmasbaking
