Cinnamon Coffee Cookies – Air Fryer Cookies Easy Recipes
Every once in a while, a cookie comes along that makes you stop mid-bite and just smile. That’s what these cinnamon coffee cookies do for me. They’ve got the comforting warmth of cinnamon, a whisper of coffee, and just enough crunch to keep things interesting. No dry, cardboard-texture here — just soft, chewy bliss that goes perfectly with your morning brew or that 3pm 'why-am-I-still-working' cup of coffee.
I started making these on a rainy Saturday when I was craving something cozy but didn’t want to make an entire cake or fuss with something complicated. I remembered my mom’s cinnamon rolls and how the smell alone felt like a hug. So I riffed on that idea, threw in a little coffee for depth, and boom — cookie magic. They’re fast, they’re simple, and they always disappear from the cookie jar way too fast.
If you're anything like me, and you’ve got a soft spot for cookies that lean a little nostalgic without going full sugar bomb, you’re going to love these. Bonus: they bake beautifully in the air fryer if you’re short on time or just don’t feel like heating up your entire kitchen.
