Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Pulse oats in a food processor 10-12 times. The idea is to break up the oats to create a variety of textures without turning it into ground oat flour.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix again. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Add the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until combined.
  • Scoop 1 ½ to 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart so they can spread.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just beginning to brown. The centers will still look soft.
  • Let the cookies rest for a minute or two before transferring to a wire cooling rack and allowing to cool completely.
  • Make icing by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a medium bowl. It should be a thick icing, but still liquid enough to settle when a spoonful of icing is drizzled back into the bowl.
  • Give the tops of the cooled cookies a quick dip into the icing and lift them straight up, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the iced cookies back on the wire rack and let the icing set, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
