My kids always come home from school absolutely starving! They like to eat and I like to bake, it’s a match made in heaven. School is back in session and with all four of them coming home hungry I thought I’d make up a big batch of iced oatmeal cookies for them to enjoy while we recount the events of the day. We use our favorite oatmeal cookie recipe and dip them in a simple glaze. These cookies are easy to make and are very versatile! We use the un-iced ones for ice cream sandwiches too, YUM.

August 31, 2016 at 7:54 amI always loved iced oatmeal cookies! But the brand that I use to love is not longer existing in my state. SO I was also wanted to make them. So thank you for providing such a good recipe because I feel this recipe will be better than the store brought ones.

May 1, 2018 at 7:57 amHi! I may be able to answer your question about store brand shortening. When making decorator icing for cakes, I use store brand because it has higher trans fat content. Lower transfer causes the icing to break
