gingerbread cookies air fryer

Classic Gingerbread Cookies are a delightful holiday treat, known for their warm spices and festive shapes. These cookies have a rich, molasses-based flavor that pairs wonderfully with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing. Making them in an air fryer gives you perfectly baked cookies with a crisp edge and soft center, ideal for decorating or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 3 cups
Ground ginger 1 tablespoon
Ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon
Ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda 1 teaspoon
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Unsalted butter 1/2 cup
Brown sugar 1 cup
Molasses 1/2 cup
Egg 1 large
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

Cooking Steps Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue to beat until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  5. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step is essential as it helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
  6. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
  7. Shape the Cookies: Once the dough is chilled, take small portions and roll them into about 1/4-inch thick discs or cut them into shapes using cookie cutters. You can also make decorative shapes such as gingerbread men or stars.
  8. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the shaped cookies in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  9. Air Fry the Cookies: Air fry the cookies at 320°F (160°C) for about 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, carefully remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.
  11. Decorate (Optional): Once cooled, decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or powdered sugar if desired.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Your classic gingerbread cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for holiday gatherings or gifting to loved ones.

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain a soft dough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  7. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes while the dough is chilling.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form the dough into balls about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a clean surface.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in M&M Candies: Gently fold in the M&M candies using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the cookies.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or your hand, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&M candies on top of each cookie for added decoration.
  9. Air Fry the Cookies: Carefully place the cookies in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to bake them in batches. Air fry the cookies for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
  10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
