You can make these delicious oatmeal cookies in any shape you like. Because they contain oatmeal, they are rich in fiber, which helps you feel full for longer.

Ingredients:

For the cookies:

• 200 g oats
• 100 g whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 100 g butter, at room temperature
• 100 g brown sugar
• 1 egg

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

For the cookies:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.

3. In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir well until everything is combined.

5. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

6. Place the dough on a work surface and roll it out. Cut out the cookies with the cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheet.

7. Bake the oatmeal cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For glazing the cookies:

1. In a bowl, add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.

2. Whisk well with a whisk or spoon until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth glaze. If the glaze is too thick, add a little extra milk, and if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.

3. Ensure the oatmeal cookies have cooled completely before you start glazing.

4. Take a small amount of glaze on a spoon and drizzle it over each cookie. You can also use a spatula or a knife to spread the glaze evenly over the cookies.

5. Let the glaze on the oatmeal cookies set before serving. This usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the room temperature.

6. Optional: You can add extra decorations, such as chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or colored sprinkles, while the glaze is still wet.
