Tips for a good fryer shortbread recipe without oil

• You can use a whole egg if you don't want to waste it, but the yolk is enough.
• Try mixing just the yolk and sugar first
• If you do not have the butter in ointment but cold, try putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds without letting it turn to liquid
• If you want to use a Christmas mold to make Christmas shortbread cookies, stretch the dough with a rolling pin without making it very thin.
• To check that the cookies are cooked, prick with a wooden stick or fork through the center to see if it comes out clean
• Keep an eye on the last 5 minutes of cooking in case you need to raise or lower the temperature of the air fryer
• I have used a silicone mold for air fryer (it is a protector so as not to spoil it) and baking paper but it is optional
