Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie dough

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Streusel

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Icing

  • 1 cup powder sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add this to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined and a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into balls (about 1.5 inches), press down slightly into a small disc and place on a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

Streusel

  1. In a small bowl, combine cold butter cubes, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to crumble the mixture together until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Lightly press a spoonful of streusel onto each cookie, pressing gently so it adheres.

Bake

  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Icing

  1. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon until smooth.
  2. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the icing over them. Let the icing set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the cookie dough, softened butter helps create a creamy texture, while cold butter in the streusel creates that delicious crumbly texture.
  • Using your fingers to mix the streusel will give you that perfect crumbly topping. Try not to over-mix, as you want it to stay in little pieces.
  • Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or freeze (without icing) for up to 2 months.
