Instructions
- Prepare the Oats:
- Pulse the rolled oats in a food processor until they reach a coarse, powder-like consistency.
- Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses, blending until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually mix in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until just combined.
- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for about 3 hours to ensure optimal texture.
- Shape and Portion:
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. Flatten each dough ball slightly to about ½ inch thick for even baking.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until golden and firm.
- Prepare the Icing:
- While the cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until a thick glaze forms.
- Ice the Cookies:
- Dip the top of each cooled cookie lightly into the icing, allowing the excess to drip off. Let the icing set for about 1 hour.
