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:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Add the Crumble: Generously sprinkle the crumble mixture into the indent and over the top of each cookie.
7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
8. Make the Icing: While the cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Drizzle the Icing: Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie.
