Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
- While the cookies cool, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar with milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the icing over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.
