Instructions

Prepare the streusel filling by combining flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl until clumps form. Chill in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix dry cookie ingredients: all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Cream cubed butter with brown and granulated sugars until smooth. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined.
Shape dough into balls and make indents for the streusel filling; spoon in chilled mixture.
Bake for 8-11 minutes until edges are golden; cool before drizzling with icing made from powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
