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.

The key is the ingredient ratio; along with using butter vs shortening recipe.
