Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened At room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs At room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Scoop and level to measure
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats

Icing

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For icing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the rolled oats until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking

  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  • Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Icing

  • To make the icing, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and glossy.
  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the tops using a fork or a piping bag.
  • Let the icing set before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Adjust icing consistency to your liking. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
