Bake time: 11 minutes

ingredients:

• 1 cup (16 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups oats
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• 1 Tablespoon water

instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat, set aside.
2. In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, continue beating on medium speed until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined into the dough.
5. Lightly beat in the vanilla extract and 1 Tablespoon maple syrup. Set batter aside.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
7. Add a third of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix on low speed until just combined. Repeat until the flour mixture is fully incorporated.
8. Roll the cookie dough into balls, about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely.
10. In a shallow bowl, make the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, and water.
11. Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, then return to the cooling rack, allowing the excess to drip off.
