Servings: 10 jumbo cookies
Ingredients
Coffee Cake Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole 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
Coffee Cake Crumble
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 tablesooons salted butter cold and cut into cubes
Cookie Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats. In a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy for a few minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Then add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until dough has formed. Be sure not to over-mix.
- Use a large cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls (about 4 tablespoons of cookie dough). Place on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Use the back of the cookie scoop to gently press down in the middle of each cookie to make an indent.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut in the cubed butter until small pea-sized pieces are formed.
- Evenly distribute the streusel topping onto the top of each cookie. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or just until the edges turn a light golden brown. Let cookies sit for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling wire rack.
- In the meantime, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if icing is too runny, add more milk to thin it out. Drizzle glaze on top of the cookies while they are a little warm, this way the glaze will soak into the cookies. Enjoy!
