Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring until you achieve your desired pink shade; mix well.
-
Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, rolled oats, and vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly. If you want a pink crumble, add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until combined.
-
Assemble the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each cookie dough ball.
-
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Optional Frosting:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring until smooth and desired consistency is achieved. Drizzle over cooled cookies if desired.
-
