Old Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies
These Iced Oatmeal Cookies are a delightful blend of hearty oatmeal, warm spices, and a sweet glaze that perfectly complements their chewy texture.
Servings: 2 dozen
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats lightly ground in the food processor
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add parchment paper to a baking sheet and set aside.
- Prepare the dough. Place oats in a food processor and pulse a few times to make a coarse mix (not fine grind). In a large mixing bowl, add oats, flour, baking powder and cinnamon and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and both sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Fold in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
- Shape and bake the cookies. Take 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie balls on lined baking sheet and press down lightly. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Ice the cookies. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and water in a bowl. Dip the cookie tops into the glaze and place aside to set. Let the glaze harden about 10 minutes and serve!
Notes
- To Store: Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- To Freeze: Place in a freezer safe container with parchment paper in between each cookie and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before consuming.
