Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats.
  • In your stand mixer, beat butter and brown sugar together until fluffy — this may take a few minutes because the butter is cold.

  • Beat in vanilla, molasses, and egg.
  • Add ground oats, whole oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and baking soda, then mix until well combined.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out 16 dough balls — place 8 onto each prepared baking sheet.*
  • Bake in preheated oven to 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, then allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before icing.

Icing

  • Place powered sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla into a medium sized bowl then whisk until smooth.
  • Dunk the tops of the completely cooled cookies into the icing.
  • Place back onto the wire cooling rack to allow the icing to set.
  • Take 5 seconds to rate this recipe below. We greatly appreciate it!

Notes

*While the first sheet is baking, place the 2nd sheet in the fridge.
