This is the best-iced oatmeal cookies recipe ever!
I was today years old when I discovered that I am obsessed with iced oatmeal cookies. I mean, they’re truly a wonder. So simple yet so delicious…
I personally think that it’s the textural addition that the icing brings to the table. Because combining a sweet, soft, and chewy cookie with something that will give it a little extra crunch is what I live for from now on.
These old-fashioned iced oatmeal cookies from your childhood’s best memories will become a staple!
The best part about this is that you can literally make it anytime. Need a quick Christmas cookie, this chewy cookie with a firm exterior got your back. Want something to bake to get you through the week, these are simple enough to throw together in no time. Of course, the patience to let the cookies set is another story.
All I’m saying is that you should give these a try and let me know if you’re not addicted to them yet!

How can I get that iconic craggy top iced oatmeal cookie look?
To get that iconic look, you want to lightly dip the cookies into the icing or glaze. I was going for the Crumbl look so I dipped them a little extra in there.
This depends strictly on preference so do whatever you prefer. Dip a little less or a little more depending on your likings 🙂
Can I make smaller cookies with this recipe?
You sure can!
This recipe makes pretty large cookies and if you want to make them smaller you will get about 16 smaller cookies instead of 8 larger ones.
When it comes to baking them, bake for about 8 minutes instead of 10. Decorate as you would the large ones.

Make the glaze

Don’t have old fashioned oats can’t I use regular ones? These sound so good but I live on a limited income and don’t have the money right now to by OF oats.
The old fashioned oats are pretty useful for the texture, but I’m sure they will turn out ok with what you have 🙂
Love the cookie dipped in the glaze, a different twist on an oatmeal cookie. Super easy to make & delicious. Love these copycat recipes!
Yes! The glaze makes these cookies extra special! Thank you for the comment.
I absolutely love Crumbl’s Iced Oatmeal
cookies, so I was so excited to try my hand at this recipe! My two year old and I made a double batch on Friday and they’re already gone. We gifted some to family and they raved as well!! They were super easy to make & delicious!!! I’m typically a pre-made dough cookie maker, but this recipe made baking from scratch attainable =)
We’ll be making more this weekend!
YAY!!! So happy that you made this from scratch! You rock!!! Can’t wait for you to make more 🙂
These cookies were delicious! I used GF oats from Bob’s Red Mill and GF flour from King Arthur to meet my dietary restriction needs. All measurements were 1:1 with no adjustment needed. I did have to cook them for about 13-14 minutes to get the perfect golden color. They were just the right amount of sweetness and definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. Would definitely recommend, especially if you love iced oatmeal cookies!
YAY!! So glad these were delicious to you! Thank you so much for sharing all these amazing GF baking tips!
My toddler and I loved making these together. The balance of sweetness with the glaze and cookie is perfect. I love that I had all of the ingredients already on hand too. Filing this away for quick cookies to whip up at the last minute that taste great!
I am so happy to hear this!! Happy you get to create awesome memories with your toddlers using my recipes 🙂 This is the perfect weeknight baking recipe!
Delicious recipe!!! Love how easy it is and that it only uses 1 bowl. Another hit!!!
This recipe is absolutely incredible and so easy and quick to make. These cookies taste just like the Crumbl ones. I have made them twice now. I can not get enough of these. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe.
This is the best compliment ever!! So happy you enjoyed them!!
Amazing recipe! So easy and delicious:)
Enjoy M!

The consistency of these cookies are great! I had to bake mine more like 13 minutes. I would probably add about 1/4 c more sugar on the second run. The cookies weren’t quite sweet enough for me. Great recipe! Thanks
Thank you for your honest opinion! I tried lowering the sweetness of the cookies to allow the icing to shine and bring in that extra hint of sweetness. We’re all about balance here but if you like them sweeter, the extra 1/4 cup of sugar would work perfectly!

Super easy and tasty. My toddler and I loved making these together. I think these have a great sweetness balance. As much as I have a sweet tooth, I don’t love the super sweet cookies. I ended up baking 11 min because they didn’t look quite done at 10, but after letting them completely set, I’d try the 10 next time!
That’s so fun! I’m so happy you were able to create some fun memories together using this recipe 🙂
Yes baking them a bit less will allow the cookies to continue baking when they cool down keeping them soft and chewy!
I made these last night and oh my heavens are the amazing!! I love a simple yet delicious cookie recipe!
Thank you so much for giving these a try!
