These coffee cake cookies are the perfect treat for the cold winter months. With a soft cinnamon cookie base and a streusel and icing topping these cookies will be ones that everyone enjoys!

Ingredients

Cinnamon Cookie Dough:

• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp cinnamon (add more if desired)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 ¼ cups flour

Streusel Topping:

• ¼ cup butter, softened
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ⅓ cup flour
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Icing (optional):

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp milk
• Splash of vanilla

Baking Instructions

Dough: 

• Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine the butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar in a bowl, mix until smooth.
• Add egg and vanilla and mix again.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Set aside and begin streusel.

Streusel:

• Add all of your streusel ingredients to a bowl.
• Mix until the mixture sticks together, but still crumbles in your hand (I recommend mixing with your hand or a spoon).

Putting it all together:

• Roll dough into medium-sized balls and place on nonstick or greased baking sheet.
• Using a spoon or your fingers make an indent in the center of each cookie.
• Sprinkle the desired amount of streusel on the cookie, making sure it stays on the cookie.
• Place cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes, checking them periodically and adjusting the time if needed. 

Icing:

• While cookies are in the oven, begin preparing the icing.
• Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk until smooth and runny (add more milk or powdered sugar to reach desired consistency).
• After the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top. 

Enjoy!
