Self Frosting Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs. In another bowl, whisk next 7 ingredients; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in raisins and, if desired, pecans. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; cover. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-3/4-in. round cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake until light brown, 7-9 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, beat confectioners' sugar, butter and enough milk to reach spreading consistency. Spread over cookies. If desired, top with white sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C)
• Pulse oats in a food processor or blender 10 times.
• Add pulsed oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl.
• In a large bowl, beat softened butter with a hand mixer until creamy, add brown and white sugars, then beat until fluffy. Next beat in vanilla and eggs 1 at a time.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients ⅓ at a time until it's gone and dough forms.
• Fold in raisins or chocolate chunks.
• Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Then flatten into a cookie shape and put on a well-greased parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake 12-15 minutes. (Top rack = no brown bottoms, bottom rack = browned bottoms and a little more crispy).
• Cool completely and make the icing in the meantime. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and warm water in a shallow bowl. Once the cookies have cooled, dip into the icing or dab icing on with a pastry brush. Dry for 10 minutes or until icing has hardened.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In food processor, place 2 cups of the oats; cover and process until coarsely ground (texture will be like coarse ground flour). Pour into medium bowl; stir in remaining 1 cup oats, the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, baking powder, salt and cloves. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter, the shortening and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in molasses and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir oat mixture into butter mixture (dough will be stiff).
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set and light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat Frosting ingredients with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Spread 1 teaspoon frosting on each cookie. Let stand about 30 minutes or until frosting is set. Store covered in airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment.
• In a bowl, combine the oats, flour and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat both sugars with the egg, cinnamon, vanilla and baking soda on high speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until glossy, pale and thick, a full 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium. Very slowly drizzle in the melted butter and whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Add the oat mixture and gently fold by hand using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
• Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop 15 golf ball-size mounds of dough onto the sheet pan, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges and surface are set and lightly golden brown, but the center is still gooey, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately rap the cookie sheet on the counter or stovetop a couple of times to help the cookies flatten a little more, and cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar and milk using a fork until the icing is completely smooth and very thick but still moves if you tilt the bowl. Add more milk in small increments as needed. Dip only the very tops of the cookies into the bowl of icing, leaving the deeper cracks in the cookies uncoated and allowing any excess icing to drip back into the bowl. Flip the cookies over and return them to the cookie sheet to allow the icing to harden, 10 to 15 minutes. The iced cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
