Ingredients
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (165g) molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 ½ cups (600g) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar for coating unbaked cookies
- ½ cup (85g) white chocolate chunks or white candy melts
- Christmas sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and ½ cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses and egg to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until a dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C. Shape the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and roll in the remaining sugar until fully coated.
- Place in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each cookie ball.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly cracked on top.
- When done, Remove from the air fryer and set on a wire rack to cool.
- To decorate, dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate or drizzle white chocolate over the cookies, then top with sprinkles.

Notes
- Bring the butter and egg to room temperature before combining with the other ingredients.
- Carefully measure your ingredients, and use a kitchen scale to ensure you use the right amounts.
- Use dark molasses if you prefer your cookies to have a stronger molasses flavor.
- For even more gingersnap flavor, add another ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger to the batter.
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Make sure to preheat your air fryer before adding the cookies for best results.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less time, checking food for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
- Storage – these cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
