Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 2 cups quick-cook oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the quick-cook oats into a food processor or blender and pulse until they are partly ground.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated and brown sugars. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Crack in a large egg and pour in the molasses. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Add all the remaining dry ingredients, including the processed oats, to the bowl and stir gently.
  5. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  6. Place the cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for 14-16 minutes.
  7. Once baked, take the cookies out and reshape them if needed while they’re still warm. Let them cool on the pan for about 5 minutes.
  8. Move the cookies to a wire cooling rack and let them cool completely before icing.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and cinnamon until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  10. Once the cookies are cooled, dollop about 1 teaspoon of icing on top of each cookie and spread evenly.
  11. Allow the icing to harden for about 30 minutes before serving.
