Delicious and soft coffee cake cookies with a sweet glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the brown sugar mixture in the center, and fold the dough over to seal it. Roll it into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- If using, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of each cookie before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Once the cookies are done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add ½ cup of mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter option that still maintains moisture.
