Oatmeal Cookies get a NEW LOOK!
I worked on an oatmeal cookie recipe that would end up chewy and delicious, but not dry. I wasn’t sure I would be able to roll out and cut oatmeal with a cookie cutter, but as you can see the edges of the cookie aren’t that jagged.
They have that nice unpolished homemade look and I love them, almost as much as I love my new blog design.
I couldn’t decide if I wanted the icing bright white or cinnamon, so I made both. It reminded me of deciding on a new blog look, decisions, decisions.
I was so happy to make an oatmeal cookie that I could cut out. I thought the oats would be hard to work with a cookie cutter.
I decided to chop the oats with a knife, I didn’t want to put them in a food processor and lose all texture. I ran the knife over them about ten times. The chopped oats are on the left. I put regular oats on the right for you to see the difference. Sometimes it’s the little things that make projects easier, this is one of those times.
This dough is sticky so be sure to flour your surface well, along with your rolling pin and cookie cutter.
I outlined some cookies for the crazy people who don’t like a lot of icing.
There are two printable recipes below, one for the Oatmeal Cut Out Cookie and Another for the icing recipes.

I absolutely love iced oatmeal, thanks for sharing a recipe! And love your new blog design!
Glad you like them both 🙂
These cookies were a disaster. Too wet to roll out!!! What did I do wrong?
The only “wet” ingredients are butter and vanilla, be sure your butter is not soft, but cool and at room temperature. If it’s overly hot in your kitchen it can make the butter soft which could possibly make the cookie dough sticky, just add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the cookie dough is manageable for you to roll out. Flour the surface you will roll the dough on, flour the rolling pin as well. That should help you to be able to roll it out.
Iced oatmeal are one of my FAVORITE cookies!! Can’t wait to give these a try.
I have no idea why it took me so long to make them.
I absolutely love your new blog design. So clean and fresh!!! The oatmeal cookies look awesome too…I never thought about cutting out oatmeal ones!!!
Simple and pretty!
