Preparation

  • Add egg, yolk and vanilla, mix until smooth on low speed.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, soda, salt, cornstarch and flour, being careful not to over mix.
  • Scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon size balls and place 6 cookies on cookie sheet. Make an indention in each cookie dough ball.
  • Mix together flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add soft butter and mix until it comes together. Place crumb topping in the indention of the cookie dough.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • Mix together the glaze and drizzle over the cooled cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

You can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar instead of making the glaze if you prefer. Use grams for more precise measurements, especially for flour.
