Equipment
Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
- 1 (15.25 oz) box vanilla cake mix
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstrach
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2 tbsp sour cream
For the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter melted (1 stick)
For the icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Make the cookie dough by combining the vanilla cake mix, flour, cornstarch and cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk until everything is evenly combined.
- Add the eggs, melted butter and sour cream to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
- Use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, then use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of each cookie dough ball.
- For the streusel topping, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until you’re left with a slightly wet, crumbly streusel mixture.
- Add 1 tbsp of the streusel topping to the middle of each cookie then bake for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are set and the bottoms are a light golden brown.
- Once the cookies are cooled, combine the icing ingredients and whisk until smooth. You may need to add more heavy cream to get a thinner consistency for drizzling.
- Drizzle the icing on top of each cooled cookie, then let the icing set up for about 30 minutes before enjoying!
