Iced Oatmeal Cookies

As soon as it’s cool enough to turn on the oven, this is the recipe we bake. With warming spices of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, these are the perfect cookies to welcome fall! Inspired by the packaged oatmeal cookies you might remember from childhood, these have all that flavor and then some—thanks to the tireless testing efforts of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens. The secret to recreating this grocery-store classic is using old-fashioned oats in two different ways. First, oats are processed into a coarse grind to make oat flour. Then, unprocessed oats are stirred into the dough for a chewy textural contrast. A dash of molasses further aids the chewiness factor and adds a deep, earthy sweetness to the cookies. The final result is a perfectly delicious scratch cookie that’ll charm anyone—no matter if these treats make them wax nostalgic, or they’re trying them for the first time!
