The Perfect Iced Oatmeal Cookie

The Perfect Iced Oatmeal Cookie

This recipe will render 8 servings so if you are planning on preparing these for a bake sale or any other large get together you may want to double up on the ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oat, pulsed in food processor x10
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature and softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup raisin

ICING

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon warm water

Now that you have all of those in one place. Let's put it all together.

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C)
  • Pulse oats in a food processor or blender 10 times.
  • Add pulsed oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter with a hand mixer until creamy, add brown and white sugars, then beat until fluffy. Next beat in vanilla and eggs 1 at a time.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients ⅓ at a time until it’s gone and dough forms.
  • Fold in raisins or chocolate chunks.
  • Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Then flatten into a cookie shape and put on a well-greased parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes. (Top rack = no brown bottoms, bottom rack = browned bottoms and a little more crispy).
  • Cool completely and make the icing in the meantime. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and warm water in a shallow bowl. Once the cookies have cooled, dip into the icing or dab icing on with a pastry brush. Dry for 10 minutes or until icing has hardened.

There you have it. A wonderful sweet treat for the whole family. Depending on your taste you can substitute the raisins or chocolate for other ingredients. Personally, I leave them both out and enjoy it as is. Let us know what you come up with.
