Author Catherine's Plates

Ingredients

  • 1 cup & 2 TBS All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1/2 TBS baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 8 TBS butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar,packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla exract

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1-3 TBS milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor add oats and pulse for 10 seconds to roughly break the oats up.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together, oats, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl if mixing by hand, cream together butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy about 2 minutes.
  • Add egg and mix slowly to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients slowly until combined.
  • You can work with the dough now, or refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes if its too soft.
  • Scoop dough out with a 1 inch cookie scoop and place onto prepared baking sheets. (If you want a more soft cookie center, leave dough in rounded shape on pan. If you want a more flat cookie, flatten dough with a piece of parchment paper and the bottom of a glass.)
  • Place in oven and bake between 10-14 minutes until cookie gets a nice golden tinge to edge of cookie. For a more crisp cookie leave in for the 14 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for a few minutes, then take cookies off of baking sheet and place on wire rack to completely cool.
  • After the cookies are cooled, whisk together in a small bowl, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add more milk if needed for a smooth icing or add more powdered sugar to thicken icing up.
  • Take a cookie and hold upside down and dip into icing. Twirl to remove excess icing and place back onto wire rack to set icing for 30 minutes. Enjoy.
