STREUSEL

  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g brown sugar
  • 25 g granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 40 g butter melted

COFFEE COOKIES

  • 110 g butter melted and cooled
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 240 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

VANILLA GLAZE

  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

STREUSEL

  • Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix them together. Then add the vanilla extract and butter and with a spatula, fork or with clean hands mix everything together until all of the dry ingredients have been coated with butter and it becomes a crumble structure. Set it aside until it’s ready to be used.
    50 g all-purpose flour, 25 g brown sugar, 25 g granulated sugar, 40 g butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon

COOKIES

  • Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. You don’t want it to bubble, as to not lose any of the liquid in the butter. Pour it into a big mixing bowl and let it cool down to room temperature in the fridge. Takes about 20 minutes.
    110 g butter
  • Once the butter has reached room temperature add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and with spatula whisk it together for 1 minute. Alternatively, mix it together in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
    150 g granulated sugar, 50 g brown sugar
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract and mix it in until combined.
    1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients and with spatula mix it together until just combined.
    240 g all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Using a 2 tbsp/ 1.3 ounce cookie scoop, scoop out 11 cookies and place them on a tray lined with baking paper. Using a tablespoon measurement, press the tablespoon into the middle of the cookie dough balls and press it down to make an indent in the cookie dough. Fill the indent with a tablespoon of streusel. Place the prepared cookies in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 180ºC / 355ºF and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the hour has passed, place 6 cookies per baking tray and bake one tray at a time for 10-11 minutes.
  • Once baked, let them cool down on the baking tray for 3 minutes as they still will be soft when they are done. After they have cooled down a bit, use a spatula to lift them onto a cooling rack.

VANILLA GLAZE

  • When the cookies have cooled down, mix all the ingredients together. If it's too thin add more powdered sugar, if it's too thick add a bit more milk. Drizzle it over the cookies.
    50 g powdered sugar, 1 ¼ teaspoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
