Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat together the softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, blending well.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then fold in the flour until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the additional softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel until crumbly.
  5. Portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, indenting each cookie and filling with streusel mixture.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden edges and slightly set centers occur. Allow to cool.
  7. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, then drizzle over cookies once cooled.
  8. Serve warm, ideally paired with coffee.
