So when you that craving hits, you don't have to wait! Crumb Topping: If I could I would eat a crumb topping on everything. It adds so much rich buttery, sweet flavor. Bakery Level: Be ready to wow everyone with these cookies that look like they came straight from a bakery. Ingredient Notes Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below. Butter: You will need some for the cookies and some for the crumb topping. Make sure that the butter for the crumb topping is very soft. Eggs: You will need one full egg and one yolk. Cornstarch: This is used in cookies to give them a softer texture, and also helps them from spreading. Recipe Instructions Here is how to make these cookies. You will need a large and small mixing bowl and a cookie sheet. Step 1 : Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg, yolk and vanilla, mix until smooth on low speed. Step 2 : Slowly mix in baking powder, soda, salt, cornstarch and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Step 3: Scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon size balls and place 6 cookies on cookie sheet. Take the backside of the cookie scoop and push to make an indention in each cookie dough ball, or you can use your fingers. Step 4: Mix together flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add soft butter and mix together with a fork or your fingers until it all comes together. Take a handful of crumb topping and place it in the indention of the cookie dough. Step 5: Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Run a spoon or spatula around the freshly baked cookies to help shape a perfect circle. Allow to cool completely before adding the glaze. Step 6: Mix together the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Enjoy! Expert Baking Tips You can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar instead of making the glaze if you prefer. If your cookie dough sticks to the back of the cookie scoop when making the indention you can spray with a bit of cooking spray, or just use your fingers. I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key. FAQ Can I make these cookies smaller? I wouldn't suggest making the cookies smaller because then you can't fit much of the crumb topping on top. Can these be made gluten free? You can make these cookies gluten free by subbing in 1:1 gluten free flour where all-purpose if called for. Why did my cookies turn out flat? Cookies usually turn out too flat if the butter is too soft, or there was too much flour added. I would suggest using butter that is still somewhat cold and weighing your ingredients. Storing & Freezing These coffee cake cookies will remain fresh if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also prep the cookie dough in advance and store it in the fridge for about a week, just make the indention in the cookie before chilling so that it's easier to do. You can freeze your cookies in an airtight container for 2-3 months with them remaining fresh.
