Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 splash vanilla extract
Instructions
Cookie Dough
- Preheat an oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the oatmeal until it has the texture of coarse meal. Be careful not to over-process it into a flour. Pour into a large bowl and whisk in the salt, baking powder, baking soda, spices and flour.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Using a 1-ounce portion scoop or two rounded tablespoons, place the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 14 minutes. Cool before icing.
Icing
- In a bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Decorate the Cookies
- Dip just the tops of each cookie lightly into the icing, allowing any excess to drip off before setting them on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
