These are a throwback to my childhood lunchbox. My dad always packed these iced oatmeal cookies from the grocery store and they were soft, lightly spiced and coated with a powdered sugar icing. I adored them (and still do!)
I've never tried to make them before, but I've seen a couple of copycat recipes on Pinterest and decided to try one. It didn't work out right away -- they were much crunchier than I remembered -- but I figured it out and came up with a great copycat. This one will go in our regular rotation, for sure. We ADORED them.
You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze it, too. I do that all the time, and then bake fresh cookies whenever the need calls for it! (Make sure you thaw the dough first.)
