Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Streusel Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Make the Streusel: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Form the Cookies: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Press down slightly to flatten. Top each cookie with a generous amount of streusel, pressing it into the dough.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
- Serve: Enjoy your cookies with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
