Coffee Cake Cookies
Report
I've combined two of my favorite desserts into one and made these dreamy coffee cake cookies. They're made with a cinnamon sugar cookie, filled with a buttery streusel and a drizzle of powdered sugar icing on top. Enjoy with a cup of warm coffee and get ready to fall in love with your new favorite cookie!

Ingredients
For the streusel
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 5 Tbsp. softened butter, unsalted
Cookie Dough
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 cup cake flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 8 Tbsp. cold butter, unsalted, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
Icing
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp. heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare the streusel filling: In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together. Then work in the butter until small clumps form. (I just use my fingers to work it together). Refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: all purpose flour, cake flour, corn starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Place the cubed butter and sugars into the bowl of a stand mixer and secure the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on and cream until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and blend until mixed. Use a rubber spatula to knock off mixture if any is sticking to the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, about 1/4 cup at a time. Mix until incorporated.
- Scoop and roll cookie dough into ~8 large balls, or smaller if preferred you can get about 22-24 cookies. Place on prepared baking sheets.
- Make an indent in each cookie, using your thumb or the end of a spoon/spatula or something similar. (I used the end of a wooden juicer and dunk it in a little flour so it doesn't stick).
- Spoon ~1 Tbsp. of the streusel filling in each cookie and bake for ~8-11 minutes, or until edges appear set and are slightly golden. (They will continue to bake a bit more on the pan after you pull them out so pull them out just before you think they're done so they don't over-bake/become dry.)
- *Optional step to get cookies perfectly circular: Immediatley after the cookies come out of the oven, place a circular cookie cutter or a circular drinking glass around one of the cookies (it should be larger than the cookie so you don’t cut off any edges) and give the cookies a spin. Swirling the cookie should help to smooth out any uneven edges.
- Let cookies rest on cookie sheet for ~5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the icing and once the cookies are cooled, drizzle icing over the tops and enjoy!
Notes
- Make the streusel up to three days in advance and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
- You can also double the streusel so you have extra streusel topping to garnish the cookies with after they bake, if needed. If you do this, it's important to heat treat the flour so it becomes safe to consume. To do so: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat and bake for 7 minutes in the oven or until the flour reaches 160°F then let it cool and use to make the streusel.
- Ice the cookies only after they are completely cool.
- For added texture to the streusel add shredded coconut, or finely chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Store cookies in at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
