Instructions

Prepare the streusel filling by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Incorporate softened butter until small clumps form. Refrigerate until needed.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Cream cold cubed butter with brown and granulated sugars in a stand mixer until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to form a dough.
Shape dough into balls and create indents for the streusel filling.
Fill each indent with about 1 tablespoon of streusel.
Bake for 8-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Cool slightly before drizzling icing made from melted butter, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
