Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup salted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour plus 3 Tablespoons
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Crumb Topping

  • ¼ c. light brown sugar
  • ½ c. flour
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

Crumb Topping

  • Mix all with a fork until crumbs form. Keep covered in fridge.

Cookies

  • Beat butter and sugars.
  • Add egg and vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients.
  • Measure out 6 ounce mounds and shape into 2 pretty even ball-bottom should be pressed into a slight disk and then I did a round ball on top. Freeze until solid.
  • Lay on parchment lined jellyroll pan and sprinkle tops with crumbs. Can push a small indent with your finger on the cookie top to hold more crumbs. Also attach some crumbs to the sides.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 12-16mins.
  • (During the last 2 mins of baking can add a little more crumb in the empty spots.)
  • Should be slightly underdone as they will cook more as they cool on cookie sheets.
  • Dust with powdered sugar when cool.
