Coffee Cake Cookies.
Coffee Cake Cookies have quickly become my new *favorite* cookie. I have been eating these for breakfast lately. If you like coffee cakes then I think you will like this recipe because they have a lot of the same flavor just a little bit different in cookie form vs. cake.
You can use your thumb to make the thumbprint indentation or the back of a spoon. You make the indentation so you can fill the dough with the crumb topping so it doesn’t fall off the cookie as it bakes.
Recipe makes about 40 cookies. This recipe also works well if you only want to make half a batch, I have cut the recipe in half before. I also vary the size of the cookies, sometimes I make large 2.5 Tablespoon size cookies vs 1 tablespoon size.
