In reply to Sherri. Hi Sherri! I haven't tried making these cookies quite that large so it would be difficult to say how they would turn out. It may get tricky to get the whole cookie to bake with the streusel topping in it, but if you do try it I would love to know how they turn out. The temperature listed is for a conventional oven. :)

Hi Sam! I’m excited to try these Coffee Cake cookies but have a couple of questions. Can I make 3 oz dough balls and if so, how long should I bake them for? Also, is the 350 degrees for a conventional or convection oven? Thanks so much!

ABSOLUTELY the best! Everyone I gave these two they were obsessed with them. My son absolutely loves them and he’s pretty selective about cookies.

In reply to Theresa. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Theresa! Did you make any substitutions or alterations? Did you weigh your flour? Are you at a high altitude that may cause issues?

Hi Sam, these cookies taste great! I need your help in figuring out why both my cookie dough and the filling are dry. Both were dry before baking.
I measured correctly and baked correctly.
Thanks!!

In reply to Steffi. They will certainly need to bake for less time, but other than that I don't think you'd need to change anything.

In reply to Sam. These look great! Any changes if I were to make smaller cookies, such as 1 tbsp-sized?

In reply to A Miller. According to the recipe it does specify unsalted butter and salt. If you were using salted butter then you wouldn’t need salt.

Really good! I ended up with too much streusel, I would say you could honestly half the streusel recipe (or use the leftovers for muffins).

In reply to AJ. Hi AJ! Was the dough very firm and not able spreading at all? If so you may have accidentally over-measured your flour. :(

What did I do wrong that when I pressed the tablespoon into the dough, the dough didn’t spread out and when he cookies baked there was literally a mound of streusel on top?

I had to press the streusel into the tops after the cookies were out of the oven. This is what I would see as a far from complex recipe and I am frustrated the cookies look horrible.

Up in your explanation of topping and streusel, shouldn’t it say skip the salt if you
use SALTED BUTTER?
I mean, the recipe calls for salt AND unsalted butter. So why would you leave the
salt out if all you were using what the recipe called for?
Perhaps I’m reading it wrong, but it hit me as strange.
Loved the cookies!

In reply to Leise. Hi Leise! I haven't tried this myself personally but I think it would be fine. Let me know how they turn out if you try it!

Can you freeze this and then bake them when ready? I was thinking about freezing it with the crumb to bake at a future date.

I’m a lifelong baker and new to Sugar Spun Run and I just made my first recipe and goodness, these cookies are delicious. What a cool variation of coffeecake. My friend loves coffee cake, so I will be taking some of these over to her. 😁

In reply to Marty. Did you try this with GF flour? I'm wondering the same question that you asked.

In reply to Nessa. Hi Nessa! That should work. I would guess it would probably take another minute or two in the oven. :)

I’m planning to make these for a cookie party and wondering if I could use the same method of layering the Streusel and cookie dough as done for the Blueberry Muffin Cookies and what would the bake time be?
