Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crumble)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for crumble)
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • Dash of ground cinnamon (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop dough into large balls (about 4 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheets. Gently indent centers.
  7. For the streusel, mix flour, sugars, and cinnamon, then cut in cold butter until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle streusel over cookies and lightly press it into the dough.
  9. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Cool briefly, then transfer to a wire rack.

  • Press streusel gently to help it stay on during baking.
  • Cookies stay soft and thick due to the rich dough.
