Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Delicious, copycat old fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, these glazed Oatmeal cookies are a hit!

Do you ever make something and think to yourself, “Oh my gosh this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten.”

The day I made these old fashioned cookies, that’s how I felt. And the next day too. And on the third day, they were gone, and I cried.

These cookies taste very similar to the iced oatmeal cookies you get at the grocery store. I don’t even know if there is a brand name, it may just be the store brand that I enjoy so much.

But no more. No more will I buy those when I know how to make them at home. And, hellooooo, they are oatmeal. Healthy.

How to make Iced Oatmeal Cookies

• First, you’ll want to create a powder (or flour) with your oatmeal. You can use either a food processor or a blender, and pulse it several times. You don’t want a “fine” powder, so leaving small pieces is perfect. I pulsed mine 6 times, for 1 second each time. Set this aside.
• In a mixing bowl, blend your butters with sugars. Add in eggs and remaining cookie ingredients. Blend until thoroughly combined.
• Next, you’ll drop your cookie dough by large tablespoons (I use a medium sized cookie scoop), and place it onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 14-16 minutes. I like mine a little crunchier so I go closer to 16018 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once cooled, you can make your glaze. Whisk your powdered sugar with cream and cinnamon until smooth. Frost your cookies and allow to harden. ENJOY.
