Ingredients

Dry

Wet

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil room temperature (not melted)
  • 1 cup organic light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven 350ºF and spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Next, prepare oatmeal by placing 1 cup of rolled oats into a food processor. Pulse the oats 6-8 times to chop the oats. It should be coarser than oat flour. Transfer into a medium bowl.
  • Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Set aside for later.
  • Place butter, coconut oil, and brown sugar into a large bowl. Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to cream the butter. Turn the hand mixer to medium/high and combine everything until creamy. This should take a good few minutes few minutes.
  • Once creamed, add egg, molasses, and vanilla extract and mix again on medium until smooth.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients to wet and combine using the hand mixer on medium. We like to add around 1/2 cup of dry at a time. Repeat until everything is combined.
  • Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookies. Roll dough between your palms and then slightly flatten them. Place on cookie sheet and repeat until all of the dough is gone.
  • Bake at 350ºF for around 12 minutes.
  • Once fully cooked, immediately remove cookies from cookie sheet and place onto a cooling rack.
  • Let cool for at 10-15 minutes.
  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare icing. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and water. Add water a teaspoon at a time so that it doesn't get too thin. You want to make sure that the icing is thick enough to hold shape.
  • Once you've made your icing, you can use a teaspoon to drizzle icing on top of each cookie. Top with optional orange zest.
