Iced Oatmeal Cookies



We're all very excited that my sister is having a baby girl in June.   Her shower was this weekend, and there was soo much delicious food there.   Caprese Pasta Salad, Toll House Pie, Lemon Coconut Pixies & these Iced Oatmeal Cookies were my contribution.

Lots of Oatmeal cookie fans in my family, and when I saw these on Pinterest I snagged them right away.     I made only one change, and that was to use quick oats instead of old fashioned, because I had a lot of them on hand.    I doubled the recipe, and used my 1" cookie scoop.

I got so many complements on these, actually having to pull out my phone and give people the link to the blog because they all wanted the recipe.   Thank you so much to Jennifer at Mother Thyme for this instant family favorite!

Author:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (I used quick oats)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup butter -- (2 sticks) softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Glaze
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 350º. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pulse oats in a food processor. Just break them up a little, don't grind them into a powder. This helps the cookie keep their shape.
  2. Combine flour, bp, bs, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and oats. In a stand mixer, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl if necessary. Add vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture until combined.
  3. Scoop cookies with 1" scoop onto lined sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 mins. Let cool on the sheets for 5 mins before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare glaze, mixing confectioner's sugar and milk together. Move wire racks over the parchment lined sheets (this makes clean up super easy!) Dip tops of cookies into glaze, let excess drip off and then place onto rack.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
