Cookie Dough
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Place the cubed butter and both sugars into the bowl of a stand mixer and secure the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on and cream until smooth, about 4 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and blend until mixed. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Roll cookie dough into 16 balls. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Cinnamon Streusel
- Make an indent in each cookie, using your thumb or the end of a spoon. Spoon 1 Tablespoon or so of the cinnamon streusel on each cookie. Bake for only 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges appear set and are slightly golden. Don’t over-bake! Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets.
Icing
- Whisk together the icing ingredients. Drizzle over cookies. Serve and enjoy!
