Recipe Instructions

Step 1
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.
Step 2
Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
Step 3
Slice frozen dough into 1/4-inch slices and place in the prepared basket.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gather the ingredients.
Step 7
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl. Add to butter-pudding mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 8
Roll dough into 2 logs, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
