Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice (for icing, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and melted unsalted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Add rolled oats and stir until evenly coated and sticky.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
- While cookies bake, whisk powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
- Cool cookies for about 5 minutes, then drizzle or spread icing on top.
- Allow icing to set at room temperature for 15 minutes before storing or serving.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best chewy texture. Melt the butter before mixing to ensure proper binding. Do not overbake to avoid dry, crumbly cookies. Cool cookies before icing to prevent glaze from running. Store in airtight containers to keep cookies chewy for days.
