How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these delightful cookies!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix in the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on the cookies to about 1 inch in thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Be careful not to overbake them; we want them to stay soft and gooey!
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of raisins or chocolate chips to the dough.
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaming results.
- If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Don’t skip the cooling time; it helps the cookies set and enhances their flavor.
How to Serve
These yummy cookies are perfect on their own, but you can elevate your serving game by:
- Drizzling a little extra icing on top for a sweet finish.
- Pairing them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea.
- Serving them alongside a slice of Decadent Chocolate Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare these cookies in advance, here’s how to store them:
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Just scoop them out and freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.
- When ready to bake, simply add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
So there you have it! A delightful recipe for Iced Oatmeal Cookies that’s sure to become a family favorite.
