Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips into the dough.
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and mix until crumbly.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each cookie dough ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Chill the dough if your kitchen is warm. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes. For softer cookies, underbake slightly.
