Pumpkin Coffee Cake Cookies- A chewy pumpkin spice cookie base topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel topping. All the fall favorites in a decadent dessert.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a stand size mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.
½ cup butter unsalted, ½ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup light brown sugar
With a rubber spatula scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, add in the egg yolk and continued to beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk
Scrape down the sides again, and add the pumpkin and vanilla extract, mix on low just until incorporated
¼ cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, mix on low just until there are no more flour streaks.
1 ⅔ cup all purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 6 equally sized cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepped baking sheet, and place them in the fridge while you make the crumb topping.
To make the topping: In a medium-size bowl, using your hands, mix all the ingredients until they are combined and have a “shaggy” look. There should be no flour streaks.
6 tablespoon unsalted butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon, pinch of salt, ¾ cup all purpose flour
Once the crumb topping is done, coat the top of the cookies with the crumb until they are completely covered.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, while they are baking make the drizzle by combing both ingredients and mixing until incorporated
Once the cookies are done, let them slightly cool and drizzle with the icing.
