Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened for the dough
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed for the streusel
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for the streusel
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar for the streusel
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon for the streusel

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into the wet dough until just combined.
  4. Prepare the streusel by cutting the cold cubed butter into the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon using a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  5. Scoop two tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie onto the pans, flatten slightly, and press the streusel into the tops of the dough.
  6. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure streusel butter is very cold to prevent it from melting flat during baking.
  • Do not overbake, the centers should still look slightly soft when removed from the oven.
