These Cocoa and Multigrain Shortbread cookies baked in the Air Fryer are delightful shortbread treats made with a mix of all-purpose flour, multigrain flour with seeds, and cocoa. They are very easy to prepare and vanish in a bite! The use of this multigrain flour gives these cookies a surprising taste, thanks also to the presence of sesame, sunflower, and flax seeds. I recommend it for savory preparations like these Multigrain and Greek Yogurt Mini Pizzas, they’re too good!
The basic recipe is the same as the Chocolate Chip Cookies that I have modified by adding this delicious multigrain flour and cocoa. For the dough of the Cocoa and Multigrain Shortbread, the usual half-hour rest in the fridge is planned, so you can prepare it in advance and bake them later. If you want, you can double the ingredients to make more shortbread cookies.
The Cocoa and multigrain shortbread cookies are perfect for a snack or at the end of a meal accompanied by a good coffee. Let’s see how to prepare them.

Steps

Mix the ingredients by hand to obtain a sandy mixture
Add the now soft butter and knead quickly by hand until you get a compact dough.
Place it in the refrigerator for half an hour wrapped in cling film
After the rest time in the refrigerator, detach pieces of dough and form balls slightly larger than a walnut. Pour powdered sugar into a bowl and roll them to cover
Preheat the air fryer at 340°F for 2-3 minutes and bake for about 20 minutes

Variations of Cocoa and Multigrain Shortbread in Air Fryer
If you don’t have multigrain flour, you can replace it with only all-purpose flour. The texture and taste of the shortbread will change, but they will be equally good
