NO PROBLEM!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't miss out on making these adorable air fryer gingerbread cookies just because you don't have an air fryer! They can just as easily be baked in the oven. Here's how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You may need two baking sheets to make 10 of these cookies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the steps in the recipe card below to make the gingerbread cookie dough. Roll out the dough and transfer the cut out gingerbread cookies to the prepared baking sheet, allowing about 2-inches of space between each cookie for a natural amount of spreading. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake the cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed up, browned on the bottom, and firm to the touch. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the rest of the recipe steps as directed in the recipe card below. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It's as easy as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHY CHILL COOKIE DOUGH?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the baking time of these cookies is just 10 minutes, you do need to chill the dough first for at least 30 minutes. I sometimes like to make the dough 1-2 days in advance which makes this recipe even more convenient for whipping up holiday cookies on demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies spreading too much while baking. The fats in the dough will solidify so that they take longer to melt when the cookies are in the heated air fryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chilling the dough is another clever trick to allow the flavors in the dough to meld together and intensify for the most scrumptious tasting gingerbread treats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-1.jpg\" alt=\"In-process recipes images for making air fryer gingerbread cookies.\" class=\"wp-image-94968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-1-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-2.jpg\" alt=\"In-process recipe images for making air fryer gingerbread cookies.\" class=\"wp-image-94969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/air-fryer-gingerbread-cookies-inprocess-collage-2-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAKE-AHEAD INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Refrigeration Instructions<\/strong><br>Make the gingerbread cookie dough up to 3 days ahead of baking and store it in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freezer Instructions<\/strong><br>Make the gingerbread cookie dough up to 2-3 months ahead of baking and store it in the freezer, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
