| Iced Oatmeal Cookies |
Karen and I are sitting in my living room, which is flooded with sunshine, watching AquaMarine. Don't judge us, or do; its a wonderful Disney movie that follows two best friends who find a mermaid in their local pool. Of course this film covers all the teenage drama of heartbreak, jealousy, and finding your true self. Its awesome.

With the beautiful laziness of the day, I have the time to tell you about some delicious oatmeal cookies that you must try. They are iced, which gives them an extra sweet kick, but loaded with oats so they are heart healthy.
Iced Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/4 cupold fashioned oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
In a food processor, pulse the oats until they are ground and just some larger pieces remain. In a large mixing bowl, stir in oats, flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk egg with the melted butter and syrup. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Scoop by heaping Tablespoon onto well greased cookie sheet. Leave a good amount of space in between cookies, they spread a lot when they bake! Bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden. Remove from cookie sheet and let them cool completely. Whisk together icing (below) and ice them!

Mix a few tablespoons of vanilla frosting with two teaspoons of cinnamon. Add milk until the frosting is glaze consistency. Pour icing into a plastic ziploc bag. Cut off one corner of the bag, and pipe icing onto cookies. Let it set, and then eat! You can store them in an airtight container for about a week to keep them fresh and soft.
