Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies – YUM. These Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies are so much better than the store bought cookies you had as a child, yet they still are full of nostalgia. They are soft in the middle, chewy on the edges, perfect amount of sweetness, what more could you want!

Growing up I always wanted the store bought treats, now, as an adult, I still want those same treats but without all the added ickiness (preservatives etc.) so I opt to make my own “healthy” version. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t necessarily call these cookies healthy, but they are free of all the chemicals you might eat if you bought them from the store. So, that is a win for me and I will go ahead and call them healthy!

While I love oatmeal cookies, my wonderful husband Caleb is a big fan of all things oatmeal, especially cookies. These Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies were made with him in mind. Crunchy and soft, sweet but not too sweet, and the perfect frosting make for the best Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookie! 

 These Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies are super easy to make! Just combine oats, flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix with butter, sugar eggs and vanilla. Dip in the frosting and they are ready to go! These cookies are perfect for weekday nights, family parties, Sunday BBQ’s, or tea parties! While oatmeal cookies are wonderful all the time there is something about eating this cookie in the spring with the sun out and surrounded by flowers. These oatmeal cookies also pair perfectly with a cup of coffee! Check out our brown sugar shaken espresso to go with this cookie:
