  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Make the Streusel:
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients for Cookies:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars:
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the rolled oats.
  • Shape the Cookies:
  • Scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Gently flatten each ball of dough.
  • Add the Streusel:
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each cookie, pressing it lightly into the dough.
  • Bake:
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
