Air Fryer Lemon Freezer Cookies Recipe

Cream butter sugar and pudding mix together in a bowl. Beat in egg lemon juice and 1/2 of the lemon zest. Set aside remaining lemon zest for icing.

Sift flour baking powder and salt together in another bowl. Add to butter-pudding mixture and beat until well combined. Roll dough into 2 logs wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm about 4 hours.

Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.

Slice frozen dough into 1/4-inch slices and place in the prepared basket.

Air fry cookies working in batches until edges start to brown 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and leave in the basket until cool to the touch then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

While cookies are baking combine powdered sugar lemon juice and reserved lemon zest in a bowl. Dip 1 side of each cookie in icing. Let icing set until hardened about 2 minutes.
