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: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. This step incorporates air for a tender cookie texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, ensuring a smooth, cohesive dough base.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined to keep the cookies tender without overmixing.
- Shape and Bake: Using a cookie scoop, portion rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately. Slightly flatten the dough balls to promote even baking. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
- Cool Before Icing: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, preventing the icing from melting.
- Prepare Icing and Drizzle: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle this icing evenly over the cooled cookies for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- For softer cookies, avoid overbaking; remove when edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Use room temperature butter and egg to ensure proper mixing and texture.
- Old-fashioned rolled oats provide the best texture; quick oats can be used but will result in a softer chew.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Adjust milk quantity in icing to achieve desired drizzle consistency—less milk for thicker icing, more for thinner.
