Delightful Iced Oatmeal Cookies featuring a perfect balance of chewy oats and a sweet icing sugar glaze, baked to golden perfection. These cookies combine simple pantry ingredients to create a classic treat that’s ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Icing Glaze

  • 3/4 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • 12 tablespoons water or milk (to desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Beat the egg separately and add it to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the dough forms a cohesive batter, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  3. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents the icing from melting when applied.
  4. Prepare and Drizzle the Icing: In a small bowl, mix icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or milk to create a smooth glaze. Adjust the liquid quantity to achieve a drizzle consistency. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies evenly. Let the icing set before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cookie dough.
  • You can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cooled before icing to avoid melting the glaze.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
