If you’re new here, firstly, welcome. If you haven’t noticed by now, I really love cookies. Not only do I love eating them, but I love making them. There’s something that just feels so cozy and nostalgic to me when I make cookies from scratch. The smell of the house as they bake. The guilt-free pleasure of eating as many as I wanted. Pure innocence. Growing up, my mom would buy that five pound tub of Pillsbury cookie dough from Sam’s Club and I thought they were the best cookies in the world. Perfectly soft and gooey when just undercooked. I used to go into the fridge and sneak spoonfuls of the dough. We were actually big fans of the Pillsbury dough boy. My mom had little statues of him speckled throughout the kitchen.
Then when I got to high school, we used to have the huge Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for sale. And those were a runner up to the Pillsbury cookie tub. So soft and thick and perfectly underbaked. The way a cookie should be. Just a mere minute away from eating raw cookie dough. Any true baker knows the significance of a minute when it comes to cookies.
Once my love for being in the kitchen arose, one of the very first things I wanted to do was make a cookie from scratch that was as good as the Pillsbury tub or the Otis Spunkmeyer’s from school. I had the classic chocolate chip cookie down to a science. These soft cinnamon streusel cookies are actually a relative to the chocolate chip. Like the spin-off to your favorite TV show. Except the spin-off typically isn’t as good as the original, but these cinnamon streusel cookies are just as great. They are soft and gooey with thick swirls of buttery cinnamon streusel and topped with a simple cream cheese icing. Like a cookie version of a cinnamon roll.
