Description

These old fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy and incredibly delicious. These cookies require no dough chill time and can be made from start to finish in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Icing

  • 1 cups confectioners sugar
  • 12 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a food processor, add oats. Pulse a few times so that the oats have different textures (finely ground and coarsely ground).

3. In a microwave safe bowl, or a saucepan on the stovetop, melt the butter. Allow the melted butter to cool 5 minutes.

4. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.

5. Add in the flour, oats, baking soda, salt cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir JUST until combined.

6. Scoop cookie dough by 1 ½ tablespoon measurements onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.

7. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. As soon as you pull the cookies out of the oven, use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula to gently press the cookies down. This will help the cookies be more soft and chewy. Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

8. Once the cookies are cool, make the icing. Whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream, or milk, in a small shallow bowl, until smooth. The icing will be on the thicker side. To achieve the crackled icing appearance, dip the cookies very lightly into the icing, then pull them out and out of the icing. The thick icing will stick to the textured surfaces of the cookie.
