25 mins prepServes 2
Dense, chewy cinnamon-y oatmeal cookies, drizzled with a rich maple cream cheese glaze, sing of the holiday season. These Oatmeal Cinnamon Cookies with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze make the perfect Christmas cookie.
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients -- oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Set aside.
3 In another large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, coconut oil, brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth with a hand mixer (or a stand mixer using the paddle attachment).
4 Add the egg and the vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
5 Slowly measure in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Beat until combined.
6 Using a 1" greased cookie scoop, dollop the cookies onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2" apart.
7 Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies have set and are slightly soft (but not too soft.)
8 While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze.
9 Measure the cream cheese, maple syrup, powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. You can also do this step by hand or with a hand mixer, though I've found the glaze doesn't come out as smooth.
10 When the cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze over them, and enjoy!
