Instructions
 

Easy Maple Oatmeal Cookies Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add flour, oats, cinnamon, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Add butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs to a separate large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use an immersion blender.
  • Add the dry ingredients and maple syrup to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a soft dough is formed.
  • Scoop out balls of dough approximately 2 tablespoons in size, and place them, evenly spaced, on a baking sheet. You should be able to fit 12 on a standard-size baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Glaze Instructions

  • Combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Add the extra tablespoon of heavy cream if the glaze is too thick.
  • Drizzle the glaze generously over the cookies and top with a light dusting of cinnamon.

Notes

Notes: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
