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 and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. This creates a light texture for your cookies.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the room temperature egg and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This step helps bind the dough and adds flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Slightly flatten each dough ball to ensure even baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are soft but set and lightly golden around the edges. Avoid overbaking to maintain chewiness.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes. This prevents them from breaking apart when transferred.
- Prepare Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened for drizzling.
- Ice Cookies: Drizzle the prepared icing over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Let the icing set before serving for best results.
Notes
- Using room temperature egg ensures better mixing and texture.
- Do not overbake cookies; they should remain soft in the center for optimal chewiness.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For thicker cookies, slightly chill the dough before baking.
