Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Streusel Topping
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 4 tbsp oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp oats
Maple Yogurt Glaze
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the streusel topping by mixing the butter, coconut sugar, oat flour, cinnamon, salt, and optional oats with a fork until crumbly. Chill while you prepare the dough.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, coconut sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the maple syrup, egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and espresso powder and mix until combined.
  4. Add the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice, and black pepper and mix lightly.
  5. Fold in the all purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop the dough into about 1½ tablespoon portions and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each cookie with streusel topping.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the cookies are soft and just set. Let cool completely.
  8. Whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
