Ingredients
 

Cookies

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • cups (245 g) all-purpose flour

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup (62.5 g) flour
  • cup (73.33 g) brown sugar
  • teaspoon (1.5 teaspoon) cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoon butter soft

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • good sprinkle of cinnamon
  • 1-2 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add egg, yolk and vanilla, mix until smooth on low speed.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, soda, salt, cornstarch and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon size balls and place 6 cookies on cookie sheet. Take the backside of the cookie scoop and push to make an indention in each cookie dough ball, or you can use your fingers.
  • Mix together flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add soft butter and mix together with a fork or your fingers until it all comes together. Take a handful of crumb topping and place it in the indention of the cookie dough.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Run a spoon or spatula around the freshly baked cookies to help shape a perfect circle. Allow to cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • Mix together the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

You can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar instead of making the glaze if you prefer.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
