Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 5 Tbsp. softened butter, unsalted
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 cup cake flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 8 Tbsp. cold butter, unsalted, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp. heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare the streusel filling: In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together. Then work in the butter until small clumps form. Refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: all purpose flour, cake flour, corn starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Place the cubed butter and sugars into the bowl of a stand mixer and secure the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on and cream until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and blend until mixed. Use a rubber spatula to knock off mixture if any is sticking to the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, about 1/4 cup at a time. Mix until incorporated.
- Scoop and roll cookie dough into ~8 large balls, or smaller if preferred. Place on prepared baking sheets.
- Make an indent in each cookie, using your thumb or the end of a spoon/spatula.
- Spoon ~1 Tbsp. of the streusel filling in each cookie and bake for ~8-11 minutes, or until edges appear set and are slightly golden.
- Let cookies rest on cookie sheet for ~5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the icing and once the cookies are cooled, drizzle icing over the tops and enjoy!
Notes
- For perfectly circular cookies: Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, place a circular cookie cutter or a circular drinking glass around one of the cookies and give the cookies a spin.
