Ingredients

For the Cookie dough:
  • 2 cups oatmeal quick cook
  • 1 cup butter melted, unsalted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
For the icing:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor (or blender), add oatmeal and pulse until partially ground. Don't make into a fine powder. I pulsed mine 6-8 times, for about 1-2 seconds each time. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend together melted butter with sugars. Mix for several minutes until well combined. Add in eggs and maple flavoring. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder, oats and flour. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  4. Drop by large scoop (I use a 2 Tbsp scoop) onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 14-16 minutes (I tend to go closer to 16 for a little extra crunch when they cool). Remove from oven and cool on pan 3 minutes, then cool completely on wire rack.
  5. For the glaze, whisk together the sugar, maple and milk until smooth. Spoon over each cool cookie and allow to harden (about 15 minutes). ENJOY!

Notes

  • Can you substitute maple syrup for the maple flavoring? No. Maple syrup, while delicious, has far less concentrated flavor than maple extract or artificial maple flavoring. If you don't have maple extract you can try these Iced Oatmeal Cookies instead!
  • Are these gluten free? These cookies are wheat free but may not be gluten free, depending on the type of oats you use. Many commercial quick oats are processed using equipment that also processes wheat so cross contamination makes them not safe for celiacs. Check the labels on all your ingredients to make sure they are gluten free.
  • Can you freeze these cookies? Absolutely! You can freeze them with or without the glaze but I prefer the taste when I freeze them plain and add the glaze fresh after thawing. They keep well in the freezer for about 3 months.
