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 purree 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. The dough might be tad bit sticky. Thats okay. 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 for a smaller cookie/15-17 minutes for a larger cookie 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.
