I’ve yet to meet someone who isn’t a fan of cookies or coffee cake, so when the two worlds collide, say no more, I’m on it.
Ingredients:
For the cookie:
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups flour
For the streusel:
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 – 1/2 cup flour *see note
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the icing:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
Splash of vanilla extract
Preparation:
For the dough: beat together the butter, oil, & sugar & mix together until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the egg & vanilla & beat together for another few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients & mix together until just combined.
For the streusel: combine all the ingredients in a bowl & using a fork, spoon, or your fingers, work the ingredients together. *Note: start with a 1/3 cup flour. The mixture should stick together, but should also crumble when you run it through your fingers. If it isn’t crumbling, add 1 tbsp flour at a time until it does.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Using a large cookie scoop, or a 1/4 measuring cup, roll the dough into a ball. Using a spoon or fingers, make an indentation into the center of each cookie & sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of streusel.
Bake for 12 -14 minutes or until light golden color. While the cookies are cooling, assemble the icing. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the icing over the tops of each.
Enjoy!
