Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, corn starch, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse for 1-2 minutes until the oats are broken up and the mixture has a texture similar to dry sand, with some visible oat pieces remaining. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with a spatula until well combined.

Add the room temperature eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Switch to a whisk and mix until the wet ingredients are well combined and have a smooth, creamy texture.

Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet sugar mixture, folding it in with a spatula a little at a time until a cohesive cookie dough forms.

Scoop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers may still appear soft.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This is crucial for them to set and achieve maximum chewiness. This will take at least 20 minutes.

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps.

Once the cookies are completely cool, dunk the top of each cookie into the icing. Gently shake off any excess icing.

Place the iced cookies back on the baking sheet or a wire rack and let the icing fully set. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes for the icing to harden.

Store the iconic iced oatmeal cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
