Gluten-Free Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats ensure these are certified gluten-free
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend or your favorite GF flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter or refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg or egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
  • Using a flat-bottomed glass dipped in sugar, gently press down each cookie to flatten it slightly.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Icing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the icing over the cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
  • Allow the icing to set before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
