Coffee Cake Cookies 

Ingredients: 

Cookie dough: 

1 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 large egg
2 - 1/2 cups flour
1 Tb baking powder

Crumb Topping:

4 Tb. butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour

Brown Sugar glaze:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 - 1/2 Tb. water

To make the dough:In a mixer, beat butter with sugar.  Add vanilla and egg and mix well.  Add flour and baking powder and mix until combined.  Dough should be soft but shouldn't stick to your fingers.

Roll cookie dough into 1-1/2 inch balls and place on cookie sheet 3 inches apart.  Flatten cookie dough with the heel of your hand.

To make crumb topping:
With a hand mixer, combine butter, brown sugar and flour until crumbly.

For glaze:
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, water and vanilla and stir until smooth.  Glaze should be easy to drizzle but not runny.  If it's too thick, add a few drops of water until consistency is right.  If it's too runny, add another spoonful of brown sugar.
