Delicious oatmeal cookies dipped in glaze. The perfect after school cookie treat while you sit around the table and talk about the day! These cookies are easy to make and are very versatile! We use our favorite oatmeal cookie recipe and dip them in a simple glaze. We use the un-iced cookies for ice cream sandwiches too, YUM. Recipe courtesy of Brandy Nelson from Gluesticks.
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in water and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in oats.
Drop dough onto greased baking sheets using a medium cookie scoop.
Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to stand 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
While the cookies are cooking, make a batch of glaze. Stir cream and powdered sugar together. Add water, 1 tsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Quickly dip the top of each cookie in the glaze. Allow excess to drip off. Return cookies to wire rack and let stand until set.
