andddd WE'RE BACK. some cookies are meant for after dinner. these belong beside a cup of coffee.
today’s bake is a coffee cake cookie — soft cinnamon dough, buttery crumble on top, and a light vanilla drizzle to finish. everything you love about classic coffee cake, just in a handheld, golden-edged cookie. sweet, but not too sweet. simple, but never boring.
