Stop what you are doing this second and Make. These. Cookies.
Chill the crumb topping while you make your cookie dough.
I used a spoon to make a large indentation in the dough…
And if you want go ahead and add a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Just enough to make them feel pretty.
Now make them.
Makes 20 large cookies
How to Make
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!
Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you are not alone, doesn’t it?
These cookies look du-lish! Definitely will be making them very very soon. If only I hadn’t just used all my flour! Oh and I love, love your raspberry ice mixer! I have one too!
I am going to make these tomorrow!! Can’t wait!
You’re right. I so want to make these right now. Love the dent that gets filled with the delicious crumbly topping (the best part of coffee cake anyway).
Oh wow, I can’t wait to make these!! I’ve been making coffee cake muffins, but these are even easier to eat!
I just died and went to Crumb Heaven! OMG, I am like a girl with poison ivy right now – I am itching to race home and make these!!!
Thank you so very much for one very delicious looking and most definitely will be, a favorite of mine! By the way, I love that you post pictures of the process. I need to “see” what it looks like before I attempt to make it myself.
It’s ALL about the crumb and these cookies look absolutely crazy good!! Gotta make these ASAP.
I can’t wait to make these for my husband! He’ll love them with his morning coffee. Thanks for sharing!
Gah! I can’t pin these! I have a hard time pining from your site, no idea why. I looked at your boards, do you have them up yet? I guess I will just make them ASAP so I can’t forget! They look INCREDIBLE.
HECK YES!! THANK you! Pinned!!!! I cannot wait to make these and report back.
Just a quick heads up…Spectrum makes a perfectly healthy shortening from palm oil. Performs exactly like that other stuff that is horrible for you. No, I don’t work for them. I’m just a happy baker.
Shortening really does make some baked products better, and while I love butter for most things, shortening has its place. Amazon’s price is high. I usually pay about $6 for 24 oz. at large gro stores. Whole Foods also carries it as do many health food stores.
Do you think I could add a dollop of cream cheese to the dent and then top with the crumbs? Kind of like a cream cheese coffee cake
Rave reviews from my coworkers and from me! Thank you for this recipe. I agree with the comment above about being able to halve the amount of the crumb topping, or you could make a coffee cake too I suppose.
I LOVE coffee cake, always have. I knew I had to make these. So I dd. AWESOME!!! They are fantastic!!! Perfection….just like a coffee cake but even better. Thanks!!
omg, adding apples is brilliant! With a caramel drizzle?? Oh yeah!!
I don’t have a standing mixer; is a hand held beater okay to use instead?
Just made these to send in my college son’s care package. They are amazing! Baked them for 12 minutes (every oven is different). Also, just using the pastry cutter did not make them sufficiently “crumby”, so I got in there with my hands. They are yummy!
