Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until just combined.
Step 3
3. Prepare the Streusel: In a small bowl, combine the cold cubed butter, brown sugar, ⅓ cup flour, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly. Add more flour if needed to achieve a sandy texture.
Step 4
4. Assemble & Bake: Scoop 1½-tbsp portions of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press a heaped teaspoon of streusel onto each cookie. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 5
5. Make the Icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
