Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cake flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Streusel

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1-3 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cookie

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed, cream butter and brown sugar together.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Mix on low until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.

Streusel

  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.

Assembly

  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. (I usually put 6 cookie dough balls onto each cookie sheet.)
  • Using your hand, gently press each dough ball to flatten slightly. Top each cookie with about 1 tablespoon of the streusel.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are just starting to brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool as you prepare the glaze.
  • To make the glaze, mix the confectioners' sugar with enough milk to achieve your desired glaze consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
