Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mix to the creamed mixture, beating on low until just combined.
Baking
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough two inches apart onto prepared sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden, but centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
- In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle or spread icing onto cooled cookies and let set for about 20 minutes.
Notes
For creamier cookies, use quick oats and slightly underbake. For a healthier touch, replace half the butter with applesauce.
