Air Fryer Ginger Snap Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

For Rolling:
1/4 cup granulated sugar

For Decoration:
melted white chocolate, as needed
Christmas sprinkles, optional

Directions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.

In a large bowl combine the softened butter and sugar, beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium speed.

Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract. Mix about 1 minute until combined.

Sprinkle the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt into the bowl. Mix until just combined.

Use a tablespoon or a small scoop to portion the dough and roll them into balls.

Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to a small bowl. Roll each dough ball into the sugar to coat.

Place the coated dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for expansion.

Cook the cookies in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until they are set and lightly browned.

Remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack.
