Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and pinch of salt until crumbly.
  4. Scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each. Create a small indent in each cookie.
  5. Fill each indent with a generous amount of the streusel mixture.
  6. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  7. Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over cookies in a zigzag pattern.
