Ingredients

Servings

Oatmeal Rolled Sugar Cookies

  • 1 cup butter softened (I used unsalted, but either works!)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar I used all natural cane sugar, white sugar works fine too!
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour I used organic
  • ¾- 1 teaspoon salt increased slightly since I used unsalted butter and I like my oats a tad salty
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup whole rolled oats not instant. I used organic.

Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 cup butter softened (salted or unsalted)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 4-6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. For the CookiesIn the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high, scraping bowl occasionally, about 2-3 minutes (on the longer side if using pure cane sugar) Should be light and creamy.
  2. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Mix until combined, about 1 minute.
  3. With mixer on low or stir, add all purpose flour, salt, baking powder and mix until just combined. Scrape down sides of bowl and stir in the rolled oats. Split dough between two pieces of plastic wrap and shape into disc, wrapping tightly. Place in fridge for at least 2 hours (may be frozen, just thaw in refrigerator before use).
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out dough to about ¼-inch thick and cut out with cookie cutters. Transfer cookies to baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes (for high altitude, I reduced the heat to 325°F and baked 10 minutes). Cookies should be slightly brown at the edges. Cool completely on wire rack, then frost with buttercream and decorate with sprinkles. Or match two cookie shapes and make a sandwich cookie. Also delicious baked plain or with sprinkles alone.
  6. For the Buttercream FrostingBeat butter using a mixer (stand or hand-held) about 1 minute until light and fluffy. Slowly mix in powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons heavy cream (adding up to 2 tablespoons for spreading consistency), vanilla and sea salt. Beat on low until combined, scrape down sides and increase speed to medium-high, high until light and fluffy. You may add food coloring if desired, but I loved the snow white look of the frosting.
  7. Makes a healthy amount of frosting, if you have leftovers, keep in fridge and use on another recipe, or frosting may be frozen. Bring to room temp and re-whip before using.
