1/4 cup dark molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until completely creamy. Beat in molasses, egg, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
Fold flour mixture into liquid until a soft dough forms. Scoop dough into 1-in balls and place 1-in apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake cookies at 350F 10-12 minutes until edges are golden (middles will still look soft - this is ok) Cool cookies on pan 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
