Ingredients (for 12 Cookies):

For the cinnamon dough:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (325 grams)

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• replaces the word nice with emptych of salt

For the icing:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• A hint of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the dough:
   In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, vegetable oil and brown sugar. Blend for a few minutes until the mixture becomes smooth, frothy and lighter in color. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again until well combined. Slowly stir in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Stir until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. Prepare the streusel:
   In another bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Start by adding 1/3 cup of flour and mix the ingredients with a spoon or your hands. The mixture should stick but crumble easily when passed between your fingers. If it is too wet, add small amounts of flour (1 tablespoon at a time) until you achieve the desired crumbly texture.
4. Shape the cookies:
   Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out balls of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet. Use the back of your cookie scoop or your fingers to create an indentation in the top of each dough ball. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of prepared streusel into each indentation, pressing gently to help it adhere to the dough.
5. Cook:
   Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
6. Prepare the frosting:
   While the cookies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth and runny. If it is too thick, add a little more milk until you get the desired consistency.
7. Finish the cookies:
   Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle them generously with the prepared vanilla frosting. Let the frosting set before serving (if you can wait that long!).
