Oatmeal cookies with icing topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) premium flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 170 g of butter at room temperature
- 2/3 cup (135 g) firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 2.5 cups (250 g) oatmeal
- 1 cup (130 g) raisins
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons whole milk
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla, egg, and 1 tablespoon of warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, about 3 more minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until smooth.
- Add the oats and mix on low speed until smooth. Add the raisins and mix until evenly distributed. Let sit at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour to rehydrate the oats.
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 45 ml (about 3 tbsp) measuring spoon, drop 9 balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
- Bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15–20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool slightly, then bake the second batch of cookies.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (2 tablespoons for a thicker glaze, 3 tablespoons for a thinner glaze), and a large pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly dip the top third of each cooled cookie into the glaze. Transfer the cookies, glaze side up, to a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet to dry completely. Your cookies should look like snow-capped mountains. Cookies can be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days..
