Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 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 1/2 cups Flour (325 grams)
For the Crumble:
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
For the Icing:
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tbsp Milk
- Splash of Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix again until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Prepare the Crumble: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a spoon or your hands to combine the mixture until it forms crumbles. If the mixture is too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right texture.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a small indent into the center of each dough ball using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
- Add the Crumble: Generously sprinkle the crumble mixture into the indent and over the top of each cookie.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
- Make the Icing: While the cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the Icing: Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie.
Enjoy your delicious coffee cake cookies!
