Preparation
Step 1
Chill the crumb topping while you make your cookie dough.
Makes 20 large cookies
Preheat oven to 350°
Mix all the crumb ingredients together in a medium bowl and cut together with a pastry cutter or a fork until evenly mixed. Refrigerate while making cookie dough.
Mix together butter, shortening and both sugars for 1-2 minutes on medium speed, until combined and smooth.
Add in cinnamon, eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until evenly combined.
Turn mixer to low and mix in baking powder, salt and flour, mixing until dough comes together evenly.
Scoop cookies out, using a cookie scoop or spoon (about 3 Tablespoons) and place on lined cookie sheet. If using a spoon, form the dough into rounded balls.
Make an indentation in the center of the cookie dough.
Scoop at least 1 Tablespoon of Crumb Topping into the center of the dough pressing lightly to stick. I added as much as I could get in there! Bake cookies on parchment paper lined cookie sheet for 9 - 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheets about 3 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar
