Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (325 grams)

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Icing Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • Splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a rich base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly, ensuring an even incorporation for a flavorful dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Prepare Streusel: In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add flour one tablespoon at a time if the streusel is too wet until it sticks together but remains crumbly.
  6. Shape Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop to place dough balls onto a lined baking sheet. Press the back of the scoop or your fingers into the center of each ball to create an indent.
  7. Add Streusel Topping: Fill each indent generously with the prepared streusel, ensuring every bite has a burst of cinnamon-y crumb.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
  9. Make Icing: While the cookies bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and runny.
  10. Drizzle Icing: After the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top for a sweet, silky finish that complements the cinnamon flavors.

Notes

  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the cinnamon slightly in both the dough and streusel.
  • Make sure not to overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
  • Adjust the streusel flour quantity carefully to maintain the perfect crumbly texture without it becoming too dry or doughy.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly before adding icing to prevent it from melting and losing its drizzle effect.
  • These cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days and also freeze well for longer storage.
