Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crumble topping by whisking together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the cookie dough by creaming together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until combined. Stir in sour cream or yogurt.
  4. Chill the dough tightly wrapped for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough onto sheets and top with crumble. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk or coffee and drizzle over cookies.

Notes

Chill the dough and crumble topping before baking to prevent spreading and achieve chewy cookies. Adjust flour measuring for light cookies. Use cold butter for the best crumble texture.
