Iced Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Vanilla-iced oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy with cozy spices.  I love that these frosted oatmeal cookies are quick to make and don't need refrigeration.

Dip each cookie's top with frosting. Shake the biscuit gently to remove excess frosting. Return the iced biscuit to the cooling rack to set and enjoy!

Keep frosted oatmeal cookies airtight. Stay at room temperature 5 days.  Refrigerate cookies for 5 days. For extended preservation, freeze iced oatmeal cookies.
