I have a question for you: Do you like oatmeal cookies? I’ll be honest, on oatmeal cookies in general, I’m pretty meh. Give me a big doughy oatmeal cookie, barely sweet, and stuffed full of raisins, and I’ll happily give it right back to you (bleh!). But these oatmeal cookies? These wonderful, lovely, perfect oatmeal cookies I’m sharing today? These oatmeal cookies I LOVE. And you should make a batch as soon as is humanly possible.
These oatmeal cookies are a little chewy and a little crunchy and can be more of either depending on how long you bake them. They’re perfectly sweet and spicy, packed with cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg, drizzled with vanilla icing and best of all, NOT A RAISIN IN SIGHT! See Also: Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies This is my favorite type of cookie recipe, the type that uses melted butter and requires no dough chilling, so you can decide to make oatmeal cookies and be eating one warm out of the oven within 30 minutes. Bake up a batch on a cold, drizzly day and they’ll make your house smell amazing and your day feel five times cozier. And since this is a small-batch recipe, it makes just six big beautiful cookies. Plenty to share, or just the right amount to keep tucked away for yourself and enjoy for a few days. And look, sharing is great, but I definitely won’t judge you if you decide to go with option two. 😉

Small-batch Oatmeal Cookies Recipe Notes
In the recipe, I have you partially grind your oats in a food processor before adding them to your dough. If you don’t have a food processor, this step is optional, but I recommend it, as unprocessed oats make for a pretty rustic and “oaty” cookie. If you have a chopper/grinder attachment for your immersion blender like this one, they also work great for this and is what I usually use. To make these cookies, you can use old-fashioned oats (also called rolled oats or whole oats) or quick-cook oats. You cannot use steel-cut oats.
