Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- COOKIES: Place the rolled oats in a food processor and pulse about 10 times until coarse not powder.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand-mixer cream the butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time then vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.
- Roll the dough into 2 tablespoon-size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet spacing about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms begin to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- ICING: In a medium bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar and milk together. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Barely dip the tops of the cookies into the icing (do not dunk) and let the excess drip off. Place back on wire racks until glaze sets.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
