Maple Glazed Oatmeal Cookies

Maple Glazed Oatmeal Cookies are a classic chewy oatmeal cookie dipped in a rich maple glaze ~ deceptively simple and divinely delicious, you won’t be able to stop at just one. Bake them to enjoy now, or freeze for the holidays, they’re a keeper!

These cookies keep their freshness and texture for at least a week, so I love to keep a pile on the counter for anyone to grab when they need a little energy boost. The frosting hardens so they’re stackable and shippable, if you can bear to part with them.

If you need a foolproof cookie recipe to add to a care package, bring to the office, or give to a neighbor, this is a great choice.

Freeze them between little sheets of waxed paper, and wrap well.
