For the cookie dough:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the streusel topping ingredients: all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter. Adjust the flour amount as needed to achieve a crumbly consistency. Set aside.
