How to Make Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies
- In a large bowl, combine the instant oats, flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil (or butter), large egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
- Stir in the pure maple syrup and molasses to the wet mixture.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet, making about 15 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes until the edges are set and slightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, mix together the icing ingredients until smooth.
- Once cooled, drizzle the icing over the cookies for a finishing touch.
