Soft Oatmeal Cookies

I usually like a crispy cookie. (Some would say hard cookies) but these soft oatmeal cookies have such a nice texture without being cakey. 

2 cups rolled oats
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

3 tbsps 10% cream
2 cups icing sugar

Pulse the rolled oats in a food processor until it looks like this. Not completely pulverized, leave some texture.

Add the dry ingredients to the oats and set aside.

In a mixer bowl beat the butter, then add the sugars. Next add eggs one at a time and finally add the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients in 2 or 3 additions until combined.
Take heaping tablespoonfuls and roll into balls.  They roll easily and don't stick to your hands!

Place onto a lined baking sheet.  I did not flatten them, so leave about 2 inches between.

Bake at 350 F for 10 - 12 minutes.

Once the cookies are cooled on a rack, then whisk the icing sugar with 2 tbsps of cream. Add the other tbsp of cream if you want a thinner glaze.

Dip the cookies in the glaze, letting some of the excess run off, and let set before storing in an airtight container.

Grab a couple of these with a glass of milk!
