Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Add the brown sugar and mix briefly until distributed without over-mixing to maintain a crumbly texture.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your nut-free classic crumble cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
