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 🙂

- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet, gently press down on the cookies to about 1 inch in thickness, and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Make sure to not overbake them so they stay soft and gooey
- Let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet for 20 minutes then more to a cooling rack to cool down fully.
Make the glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar 1 tbsp milk and vanilla together until combined. You can the mixture to be thick and creamy but thin enough to dip the cookies in. If it's too thick add 1 tsp milk at a time and mix.

Notes
- Butter softness matters: The butter should be softened but not melted. If it’s too soft, the frosting will be runny.
- Fixing a runny frosting: If your frosting looks too liquidy, place the bowl in the fridge for 10–15 minutes, then beat again until fluffy.

I love this recipe! The cookies receive compliments anytime I bring them for a crowd! They are delicious! Just like a baked iced oatmeal cookie from childhood but way better
These are honestly one of my faves as well, I’m happy you liked them 🙂
I have finally found an oatmeal cookie recipe that my husband likes….
HAHA my husband loves these too
Hello, I have made these cookies before and they have been a hit. Lately, when I make them they are coming out with more cake-like than cookie-like. I follow this recipe to the T.
I have organic rolled oats and sugar instead of non organic, which I have used in the past and they were great. Could that be it?
Thank you!
Hi! I’m not sure and it’s tough to determine since you said the recipe was working for you before and now it’s not. I don’t believe the fact that you’re using organic ingredients should matter but maybe go back to the ingredients you used prior that worked just to see 🙂
I’ve noticed that different brands of oatmeal have different textures – my main experience comes from eating Quakers for a long time and getting a more dense oatmeal whereas the CostCo brand come out more cooked through and, in a way, creamy almost like quick oats – so there is definitely a difference in the oats themselves even if they’re both the “Right type”
Delicious! I’ve made them a few times and everyone in our house loved them!
That’s awesome! next time send me pictures on instagram 🙂 I love to see it
Can I make the dough ahead of time and freeze it?
You sure can! Just freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet first with a space in between each for a few hours so they don’t stick together. Then you can transfer to a ziplock or container and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will make for the first time today. All of the positive comments got me excited. Question: is there a crisp around the edges of this cookie or is it a cookie that is soft, chewy, and cakey? Thanks
Apologies for the late reply. This is definitely a soft and chewy cookie. Hope they turned out well for you 🙂
Everyone loved these and it was so easy!
I’m glad they liked them!
can I add raisins? I made them and they were a total hit, but there were definitely requests for raisins 😂
You sure can!!
Just made these Sunday, they are very delicious. I’ve never had a Crumbl cookie before. Now I don’t need to go there just follow your recipes.
Glad you liked them 🙂
So easy and delicious!
