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 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.

Oh, yeah…I believe you!!! YUM.
I looooove iced oatmeal cookies. They remind me of after-school visits to my grandma’s house. Definitely will be making these!
Isn’t it terrible, I love those cheap, no name, store bought, iced oatmeal cookies too. It’s a secret I try to hide but no more. I can’t wait to try these! Pinned!
Love this! We are hosting our first Kitchen Fun and Crafty link party this Friday (the 10th) and would love for you to share this! Feel free to stop by and grab a party button! http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/
Yum!!! Oatmeal cookies are definitely a favorite of mine…but I like them chewy:-) And having frosting on top…even better!!!!
Oh yum! Delicious!
These remind me of a cookie I used to eat when I was a little girl. They look so sinful!
Those look SO amazing. I would have cried when they were gone too. 🙂 I must make these.
Oooh, delicious! I adore oatmeal cookies, and the icing sounds divine.
I loved those cookies growing up but have not had one in years. I have to make these soon. Can’t wait to taste them but not excited for the years when they are gone.
If that;s the best thing you ever had, they’ve got to be pretty good! YUM!
Over the weekend I was actually thinking about doing a cookie like this one… An iced oatmeal! These look delicious, and I bet would be even better dipped in milk!!
Leslie 🙂
Oh yum! Your cookies look like a childhood cookie I had, so I must make them to take me back in time.
Ohh yum! I just made chocolate chip cookies but now I’ll have to add these to my list to make next time.
These look incredible, Aimee! I love oatmeal cookies. This icing sends them over the top. Absolutely beautiful!
Pinning these right now Aimme! I wish I had a few to munch on right now. Thanks as always for linking up!

Just found you from Six Sisters’ Stuff. Just yesterday I was eating a store bought iced oatmeal cookie and thought – I can make this BETTER. I searched Pinterest but found nothing that looked good. Yours looks so good, I just pinned it!
I completely forgot about iced oatmeal cookies! I used to love those as a kid. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and reminding me that I need to get my hands on some 🙂 {or make them!}
Stopping by from TTT
Made these tonight! So VERY GOOD!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I found it on Pinterest
Hi Aimee, Just wanted to let you know that I made these cookies. Excellent cookies, and I have posted them on my blog. Hope you can come over and visit. Thank you for the cookie recipe. Andi

Making these this weekend! I have gone through plenty of packages of store brand…these look even better! All they need is a tall glass of milk. Thanks for sharing!
There is no other (polite) way to put this – these are damn good!!! Now that I’ve made these cookies I have quite the dilemma. They’re supposed to survive and make it to a party tonight at 6:00pm, but I’ll be home alone with these cookies staring at me saying Eat Me.
I love and still do love those cookies. Pinning this.
O love oatmeal cookies but frosted oatmeal cookies? YUM!!!!
Have you ever tried these with the old fashioned oats? Do you think they would still work?

I have not substituted them myself, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You pulse them in a food processor to break them down anyways, I say go for it!
Thanks! They turned out great! Best cookies I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious!
Glad you enjoyed them. They are by far one of my favorites as well!!
I have made these twice now. Once I used whole grain oats, added a cup of raisins, and left off the icing. They were awesome.
My mom made these when I was little alot! They are awesome. She always iced them with a maple frosting. Yum!
I LOVE OATMEAL COOKIES BUT I LIKE TO ADD CHOPPED PECANS TO MINE.I AM GOING TO TRY SEPERATING ABOUT 1/3 OF FROSTING & MIXING WITH 2-4 TBL. OF CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER UNTIL SMOOTH & ICING PART OF THE COOKIES.BESIDES LIKING CHOPPED PECANS IN MY OATMEAL COOKIES I ALSO LIKE PEANUT BUTTER WITH THEM. GMC
Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for the frosting or will it not set up right?

Just checking – is it def. 1 TBSP of baking powder? I’m just not used to so much baking powder in a recipe…
I know, it seems high, but it will be amazing. TRUST ME 🙂
I glaze them right out of the oven. Son loves them this way!
These cookies are AMAZING!! Followed the recipe exactly(easy).
After I glazed them, I put in the refrigerator to harden & they came out incredible!!
Everyone absolutely LOVED them! This recipe will be a favorite from now on!!
I made these the other day. I’m not sure what happened but they were not very tasty…
Hmmm, maybe a missing ingredient? Or I suppose everyone has different palates!
Can you use steel cut oats instead?

Most of these reviews are theoretical or memorial. I am actually MAKING these cookies right now, and they are DIVINE. Dough is yummy, bakes up beautifully (not too much spreading). Cookie is tender and tasty. Haven’t cooled enough to ice yet, but they can only get better and better. Highly recommend you stop thinking about these and BAKE THEM NOW!
Thank you so much for the comment! 🙂
