FROSTED OATMEAL COOKIES



Frosted Oatmeal Cookies image

A woman in my small Iowa hometown sold these cookies. When my grandmother asked her for the recipe, the woman agreed to give it to her if she promised not to make them until the woman was too old to sell them. Grandmother kept her promise, and this special recipe has been a family favorite for years. -B. Capper-Eckstein, Osseo, Minnesota

ICED OATMEAL COOKIES



Iced Oatmeal Cookies image

These extra craggy oatmeal cookies start by beating sugar with eggs, instead of mixing the typical way: creaming butter and sugar first. This method gives the cookies a crusty exterior, which eventually cracks, creating deep fissures along the surface over centers that are still gooey and chewy. With a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice) and vanilla for flavor, they make a wonderful and simple pantry cookie to bake over and over again. Don't skip the final step: These cookies are visually and texturally incomplete without their classic coat of glossy white icing.

Time 35m

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/95 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/4 packed cup/55 grams light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons/57 grams unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup/92 grams confectioners' sugar
5 teaspoons whole or oat milk, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment.
  • In a bowl, combine the oats, flour and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat both sugars with the egg, cinnamon, vanilla and baking soda on high speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until glossy, pale and thick, a full 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium. Very slowly drizzle in the melted butter and whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Add the oat mixture and gently fold by hand using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop 15 golf ball-size mounds of dough onto the sheet pan, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges and surface are set and lightly golden brown, but the center is still gooey, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately rap the cookie sheet on the counter or stovetop a couple of times to help the cookies flatten a little more, and cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar and milk using a fork until the icing is completely smooth and very thick but still moves if you tilt the bowl. Add more milk in small increments as needed. Dip only the very tops of the cookies into the bowl of icing, leaving the deeper cracks in the cookies uncoated and allowing any excess icing to drip back into the bowl. Flip the cookies over and return them to the cookie sheet to allow the icing to harden, 10 to 15 minutes. The iced cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

ICED OATMEAL COOKIES



Iced Oatmeal Cookies image

As soon as it's cool enough to turn on the oven, this is the recipe we bake. With warming spices of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, these are the perfect cookies to welcome fall! Inspired by the packaged oatmeal cookies you might remember from childhood, these have all that flavor and then some-thanks to the tireless testing efforts of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens. The secret to recreating this grocery-store classic is using old-fashioned oats in two different ways. First, oats are processed into a coarse grind to make oat flour. Then, unprocessed oats are stirred into the dough for a chewy textural contrast. A dash of molasses further aids the chewiness factor and adds a deep, earthy sweetness to the cookies. The final result is a perfectly delicious scratch cookie that'll charm anyone-no matter if these treats make them wax nostalgic, or they're trying them for the first time!

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In food processor, place 2 cups of the oats; cover and process until coarsely ground (texture will be like coarse ground flour). Pour into medium bowl; stir in remaining 1 cup oats, the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, baking powder, salt and cloves. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter, the shortening and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in molasses and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir oat mixture into butter mixture (dough will be stiff).
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set and light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, beat Frosting ingredients with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Spread 1 teaspoon frosting on each cookie. Let stand about 30 minutes or until frosting is set. Store covered in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. Quick-cooking oats will make your cookies too soft and mushy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Frosted oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and creamy frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying dessert, give these frosted oatmeal cookies a try!
