Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Icing
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This helps incorporate air for a tender cookie.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing well until fully combined to create a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately. Lightly flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are soft but not overbaked to maintain a chewy texture.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breaking when transferring.
- Prepare Icing: While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzleable.
- Ice Cookies: Drizzle the prepared icing over the cooled cookies evenly. Let the icing set before serving for best results.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg for even mixing.
- Do not overbake cookies; they should remain soft inside.
- For a thicker icing, reduce the milk slightly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Rolled oats provide a chewy texture; quick oats can be used but will change texture.
