-
Press a well into the center of each cookie using the back of a rounded tablespoon.
-
Break up the crumb topping with your fingers and fill the wells in the cookies.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely on the pan.
Drizzle:

In a small bowl, mix powdered sweetener and heavy cream. Add water as needed to reach drizzling consistency.

These cookies are soft right out of the oven but firm up as they cool.
