Iced Oatmeal Cookies

A fun twist on the classic iced oatmeal cookies. Very chewy with a great texture from the oats. They are perfect for snacking as they are just bite-sized cookies.

Equipment

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup salted butter + 6 tablespoons, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

For the glaze:

  • 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
  • Add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Cream together at medium to high speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, mix to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture a little at a time until fully mixed in.
  • Stir in the oats, followed by the chocolate chips.
  • Place 1 tablespoon-sized dollops (I like to use a cookie scoop for this) of the cookie dough on the sheet tray about an inch and a half apart. Roll them in your hands to form a ball for more consistency.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet trays.
  • Once the cookies are cool, make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, peanut butter, 3 tablespoons milk, and vanilla until smooth. If it seems too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
  • Dip the tops of the cookies into the glaze, then immediately place them glaze side up on a wire rack over a sheet tray to catch any drips.
  • Allow them to sit for an hour or 2 to allow the glaze to set, and serve immediately.
