Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed (for streusel topping)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Then, add the sour cream and beat until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until crumbly.
  7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Press a pinch of the streusel topping onto each cookie, slightly flattening the dough as you do this.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 20 minutes can help the cookies hold their shape better. Use fresh spices for enhanced flavor. If the streusel topping feels too dry, add a tiny splash of melted butter.
