What You’ll Need
Gather These Simple Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (at room temperature)
- 1 & 1/4 cup old fashioned whole rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
How to Make Iced Oatmeal Cookies – Crumbl Copycat
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add in the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually mix in the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt, ensuring you scrape down the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate everything.
- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten them to about 1 inch in thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Be careful not to overbake them—your goal is soft, gooey centers that melt in your mouth.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While your cookies are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
Variations & Creative Twists
- Add chocolate chips or raisins for a burst of rich flavor and texture.
- Sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
- Try aged citrus zest for a zesty twist that brightens the flavors beautifully.
- Swirl in some peanut butter or almond butter into the glaze for an indulgent nutty finish.
Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Let the butter soften at room temperature for the best creaming results. Cold butter makes it hard to achieve that fluffy texture.
- For an even more flavorful cookie, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you find the cookies getting too soft or sticky, a quick chill in the fridge (before scooping) can help.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
