Description
These Iced Oatmeal Cookies are a copycat of the popular Crumbl version. They feature soft, chewy oatmeal cookies topped with a simple vanilla glaze. This recipe is easy for any beginner baker to make.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 & 1/4 cup old fashioned whole rolled oats
- 1 cup AP 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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until combined. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
- Mix in the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything combines well.
- Use a large cookie scooper to drop 8 equally sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each dough ball down to about 1 inch thick.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Do not overbake; you want them to stay soft and gooey.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Then, move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk, and vanilla until combined. The mixture should be thick but thin enough to dip the cookies. Add milk 1 tsp at a time if the mixture is too thick.
- Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the vanilla sugar glaze. Place them back on the cooling rack. Let the glaze set fully before you eat them.
Notes
- The butter must be softened, not melted. If the butter is too soft, your frosting will be runny.
- If your frosting turns out too liquidy, chill the bowl in the fridge for 10–15 minutes, then beat it again until it becomes fluffy.
