Key Ingredients for Coffee Cake Cookies:

Here’s what you’ll need to bake these bakery-style coffee cake cookies:

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (63g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined.
  4. Shape Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, roll into a ball, then slightly flatten on the baking sheet.
  5. Add Crumb Topping: Generously sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over each cookie, pressing lightly so it sticks.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  7. Cool & Glaze: Let cookies cool completely, then drizzle with glaze if desired.
