Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pulse oats in a food processor 8-10 times until they resemble a coarse flour. Do not grind into fine powder.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together pulsed oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (approx. 2-3 mins).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop dough (approx 2 tbsp) onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Centers may look slightly soft. Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and thick. Dip the tops of cooled cookies into icing or drizzle generously.
- Allow icing to set and harden before serving or storing.
Notes
Ensure cookies are 100% cool before icing, otherwise the glaze will melt and become transparent. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
