Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 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 all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Vanilla Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tbsp milk (divided)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Add in the egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is light and fluffy.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Shape and bake cookies: Using a large cookie scooper or spoon, portion out 8 equal-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie gently to about 1 inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 10 minutes to keep the cookies soft and gooey. Avoid overbaking.
- Cool the cookies: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. The glaze should be thick yet thin enough to dip the cookies easily. If too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Dip and set glaze: Once the cookies have fully cooled, dip the top of each into the vanilla glaze and place back on the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to fully set before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature egg and butter to ensure proper mixing and texture.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should remain soft and slightly gooey in the center.
- If the glaze is too runny, add more powdered sugar until the desired thickness is reached.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Optionally, add raisins or chopped nuts into the dough for extra texture and flavor.
