Frosted Apple Oatmeal Cookies

By srumbel

They are soft, moist, packed with apple flavor. I love having the oatmeal in the cookie, for the texture.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats (I used quick-cooking)
• 1 medium apple, peeled and shredded (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or apple juice (I used milk)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with on medium speed until creamy. Beat in vanilla and eggs, scraping sides occasionally, until blended.
In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Gradually add flour mixture into sugar mixture. Mix well. Add in oats and apple.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet then transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely; about 15 minutes.

In medium bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk until smooth. With a spoon, drizzle frosting over cooled cookies on cooling rack (slide some parchment paper or wax paper under your cooling rack for easier clean up!). Let stand about 1 hour or until glaze is set..... If you can wait until then
