Oatmeal Cinnamon Cookies with Vanilla Icing

Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs (large)
• 1 Egg yolk (large)
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp Milk

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

4. 4

   Add the rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until a soft cookie dough forms; do not overmix.

5. 5

   Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

6. 6

   Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.

7. 7

   Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 20 minutes so they finish setting while staying soft and chewy.

8. 8

   While the cookies cool, whisk the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. If needed, add an extra splash of milk for a thinner drizzle.

9. 9

   Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra cinnamon-roll flavor, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla to the icing. You can also sprinkle cinnamon over the icing while it is still wet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Baked, uniced cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature and add fresh icing before serving. Quick oats may be used, though the cookies will be softer and less chewy.
