Recipe Notes

*NOTE: This recipe has solely been tested using Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats processed inwards a nutrient processor for the combination of textures that appear above. Do non substitute quick oats or oat bran for the rolled oats.

IMPORTANT: I've had many comments that the cookies did non spread in addition to exercise the cracks similar those inwards the photos. Be careful non to over-process the oats. Pulse quickly, exercise non brand oat flour. The texture is created past times having chunkier oats non powdery oats.

 

Tips for the icing: due to varied humidity in addition to seasonal changes, you lot may demand to a greater extent than or less milk or sugar. The icing should stick but non live runny when you lot dip the cookie. If it's likewise thick it volition non adhere to the cookie at all. Hope that helps in addition to thank you lot hence much for the feedback!
