  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on low until just combined.
  4. Gradually incorporate the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and all-purpose flour until no dry flour remains.
  5. Scoop the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, creating small indentations.
  6. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and softened butter until crumbly.
  7. Fill the indentations in the cookie dough with the crumb topping mixture.
  8. Bake for 9-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
