Ingredients

• Cookies:
• ¾ cup plus 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup fine semolina flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 11 tablespoons (1 stick plus 3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
• Glaze (optional):
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
• -or-
• Extra confectioner’s sugar for dusting tops

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Round cookies can be made with circle molds or cupcake pans. Wedge or chunk cookies can be made with a 9-inch round springform pan. The pans do not require lining or greasing.
• Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave, then set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, semolina, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
• Stir in the vanilla and the melted butter. Rub the ingredients together with your fingers to form streusel crumbs, pea-size and smaller.
• Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the bottom of the springform pan or divided evenly into the bottoms of the cupcake pan cups or circle molds.
• Bake for 12-18 minutes until light golden. Smaller cookies will bake faster than the 1 large springform pan.
• Cool completely in the pan.
• Optional: If using glaze, in a small bowl stir together confectioner’s sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
• Sprinkle cooled cookies with confectioner’s sugar or drizzle with glaze.
• Allow glaze to firm before storing.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
