Directions
One of those ingredients is Pumpkin Pie Spice, which has cinnamon, ginger, all spice, nutmeg and cloves all in it.
Along with fresh grated ginger. My best friend loves ginger snap cookies! Her mom use to make them for him and his siblings often. So I was on a mission to make mine better. If possible!
And apparently, I pulled it off!
I just love making cookies in my air fryer, because it cooks them just the same way as your oven would. However the clean up is super easy!
So people who do air fryer cookie recipes, request that you put parchment paper down.
However if you have a non stick air fryer. Like we do.
Then there is absolutely no need at all. The cookies just come up super easy.
There are various recipes online that claim to be the best, I have tried a few. I have also tried a few from cookbooks and magazines that I have in my library.
And I’ve come up with this recipe that makes the best large chewy cookies that everyone is sure to love.
HOW TO MAKE GINGER SNAP COOKIES
The key is the ingredient ratio; along with using butter vs shortening recipe.
So be sure to follow this one to a tea and you will be sure to have the best ginger snap cookies eva!
You will want to start by having to large mixing bowls.
- Bowl one: add in the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly.
- Bowl two: add in the room temperature butter and with a fork mash it till creamy. Then add in the egg and cooking molasses.
- Mix with a stand up mixer and then slowly add bowl one to and continue to blend.

- Then dust each ball with sugar by adding the balls to another bowl that is filled with sugar.

Very good cookie recipe, I used 1 1/2 tsp ginger powder and 1 tsp cinnamon. Cooked for 8 minutes at 300 degrees f and they came out beautifully!
