  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-2 cups Pecan Oat Crumble (recipe below)

Pecan Oat Crumble

  • 75 grams old fashioned oats (approximately 3/4 cup)
  • 55 grams brown sugar (approx. 1/4 cup)
  • 30 grams all purpose flour (approx. 1/4 cup)
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Maple Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 /4 tsp. maple extract
  • 2-5 Tbsp. milk Add milk, until a runny consistency.

Instructions
 

For Crumble

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine oats, brown sugar, flour, room temp butter, cinnamon, salt and chopped pecans in bowl of mixer with paddle attachment attached. Mix on low, until crumble is just combined.
  • Spread onto baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely before storing in a air tight container in refrigerator.

Sugar Cookie

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat.
  • In stand mixer with flat paddle attachment, beat together sugar and butter for 3-5 minutes. To this, add milk and whipping cream,1/4 cup at a time. Once mixture is smooth, add in the vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine. Add this to the butter/cream mixture. Once incorporated, start adding flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each. Add until dough starts pulling away from the bowl.
  • Using a size 20 cookie scoop, place mounds onto prepared sheet. (I used a 20 scoop and got 22 cookies from the batch.) Bake for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be light-colored when done. Let cool on clean dry surface before icing.

Maple Glaze

  • Combine powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp. milk into a bowl. Add more milk a tablespoon at a time, until mixture becomes smooth. You don't want it to thick or too runny. Add flavored extract.

Putting It All Together

  • Once crumble and cookies are baked and cool, and icing is made, it's time to assemble!
  • Take cookie and spread with maple icing, and while icing is still wet, sprinkle with Pecan Oat Crumble. Once icing is set (hardened), store in an airtight container.
