Coffee Cake Cookies


Ingredients:

For the cookies:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour

Streusel topping:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Icing:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 TBSP. milk
  • splash of vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Make the dough: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, then combine butter, oil and brown sugar in large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla, mix again. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined.
  2. Make the streusel: Combine butter, brown sugar, 1/3 cup of the flour, cinnamon and salt in bowl and mix with a fork, pastry cutter or your hand. The mixture should stick together, but also crumble when you run it through your fingers. If the dough is still a bit sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until you get a crumbly consistency. 
  3. Bake cookies: using a large cookie scoop, scoop 12 balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Make a good-sized indent on the top of each ball of dough with the back of your cookie scoop, sprinkling a couple tablespoons of streusel inside. Bake the cookies at 350 for 10-12 minutes
  4. Make the icing: While the cookies are baking, combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk until smooth and drips easily from a spoon. Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle on lots of icing!
