Ingredients
  

Cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened) Ensure butter is at room temperature.
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (for glaze)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until well blended and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is light and airy.
  4. Gradually add the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt, scraping down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  5. Scoop out 8 evenly-sized balls of dough using a large cookie scoop. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently press them down to about 1 inch thick.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  2. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Glazing
  1. Prepare the glaze by mixing together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies for that perfect finish.
