Steps
How to Prepare Lemon Cookies in an Air Fryer
With the whisk, beat the egg with the sugar until you get a light and frothy mixture. Add the lemon juice in a stream and the oil, continuing to mix with the whisk.
Add the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch, sifted, a little at a time
Obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture
Pour some granulated sugar and powdered sugar into two separate bowls. Take portions of dough the size of a walnut. Roll each ball first in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar to achieve the crackled effect when baking.
Place on the tray or grill, with the balls well spaced apart. Preheat the air fry program to 340°F for a couple of minutes
Insert the tray and bake for 5 minutes at 340°F, the cookies will swell, and cracks will form on the surface
After the first bake, without opening the door or drawer, lower the temperature to 320°F and continue for 10 minutes
The cookies should remain light on the surface. They should not darken; otherwise, they will lose softness. Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before moving them to cool completely off the tray. Once cooked they are soft and need a few minutes to stabilize.
