Step 1

To make these cookies from scratch, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Using a stand or had  mixer, beat the butter with sugars until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the flour. Mix until the dry ingredients combine with the butter mixture.

Step 4

Add the remaining half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on medium speed until the cookie dough is thick and creamy. Scrape any remaining dough from the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Step 5

In a small shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating, and mix.

Step 6

Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape the equal-sized dough balls. Then gently roll the ball of dough in the bowl with cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 7

Place the dough in Air Fryer basket on parchment paper. Leave about an inch between dough balls. Air Fry at 300 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until edges golden brown. Allow cookies to sit in air fryer basket for an additional 1 to 2 minutes cooking time before transferring to a wire rack.
