No boring oatmeal cookies here! These soft and chewy oatmeal cookies are flavored with maple and brown sugar and topped with brown butter maple icing. Serve alongside a cup of coffee, tea, or milk and enjoy!
Confession: I don’t really love oatmeal cookies. They’re either too dry, too heavy, or lacking flavor. I can always go for sprinkle cookies, brownie cookies, or M&M Cookies, but I just don’t crave an oatmeal cookie with the same passion. Until now!
Introducing an oatmeal cookie to get excited about. These cookies are super chewy, flavored with maple syrup, and topped with an incredible brown butter maple icing!
I also use this recipe for inspiration for our homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies. They are so good!

Recipe trick
This recipe starts by pulsing the oats in a food processor. This extra step is totally worth it (I promise!). It ensures that the oats are finely ground and makes the cookies really soft and chewy.
