Homemade Iced Oatmeal Cookies
When you think of Iced Oatmeal cookies, if you are like me, you think of the kind you buy at the grocery store in the plastic tray. Now, I am not knocking these cookies, I actually have loved their crispy, crunchy texture with a small dab of icing on top. That is until I came across this recipe for the homemade version. After experimenting a few times with the ingredients, this is the final result. And from first (or fifth) bite of dough, to the tenth cookie, I still can’t get enough! Even my kids scarf them up - which to them a cookie isn’t a cookie without chocolate chips! These little delicious bites of heaven are completely freezer friendly – but I have yet to have any of the batch left to put in the freezer!

These look delish!!!! Can’t wait to give them a try.
Making these today. Wondering if maybe I measured wrong and added too much liquid. The dough was really gooey and when I baked the cookies they poofed up with air in the center and didn’t cook in the middle and cooked on the outside. I cooked it for about 12 minutes.
Sincerely,
Worst cook in America ;)
Hmm. Not sure. Lisa is going to retest these soon to be sure everything is in correct proportion. We will keep you posted and thank you for updating us on your troubles.
I’m making them right now and it’s def taking longer than 6-7 minutes. They’ve been in 12 so far and still gooey. Smell delicious though!
I had to cook these for 10 mins to get them done. They turned out to be very flat. However, my family loved the flavor and has already asked me to bake them again.
I made these again and they were still runny. So I added an extra half cup of wheat flour and they still spread but a lot less, and they puffed a little more. Still had to bake 10-12 minutes. These are super delicious! (But it’s hard to go wrong when it’s a cookie iced with sugar!)
