INGREDIENTS FOR THE CINNAMON STREUSEL TOPPING
And what's coffee cake without that crunchy cinnamon streusel on top? Here's what you'll need to make it for this cookie.
• All-purpose flour

• Unsalted butter

MAKING THIS GIANT COOKIE
Step 1: Cream together the softened butter with the granulated and light brown sugar. Add in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk and mix until smooth.
Step 2: Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix until the cookie dough forms. The cookie dough will be a little bit sticky, but should be rollable. *If your dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes, or until you can work with it.
Step 3: Roll the dough into a giant ball and place on the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Combine all of the crumble ingredients; melted butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Using a fork, mix everything together until you're left with chunks.
Step 5: Carefully press the chunks of crumble topping to the top and sides of the cookie. *It's going to seem like a lot, but once the cookie spreads, it's the perfect amount of crumble topping.
Step 6: Pop the cookie into a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden brown. Allow the cookie to cool for a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack. Then, you can let it cool completely or enjoy it warm!
