1cupdark brown sugar,packed
1/2cupgranulated sugar
2large eggs
1tablespoonpure vanilla extract
For the icing:
2cupsconfectioner’s sugar
3tablespoonswhole milk or heavy cream
1/4teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the oats to a food processor and pulse about 12 times. You want a mix of chopped oats and oat flour.
In a large, bowl combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as necessary. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Scoop the cookie dough into balls, about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, and place about 3 inches apart on baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges, but still soft in the centers.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until the icing is smooth. You want the icing to be thick. If you need to add a tiny bit more milk you can, but don’t add too much.
Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the icing and let the excess drip off. Set the dipped cookies on a wire cooling rack and let sit until the icing sets up.
Notes
Store the cookies at room temperature for up to 3 days.
