Gluten Free Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Gluten free iced oatmeal cookies?! Yes, please!

If you loved those iced oatmeal cookies that came in the package from the store than you will love these. This one of those recipes that I really hoped would work in a gluten free version, but I was not sure it would.

It can be hard to get close to the real thing sometimes, especially when something is tied to a memory. And iced oatmeal cookies are one of the store bought cookies that I remember as a kid.

Growing up my mom made all kinds of homemade cookies. Store bought cookies were actually a treat. Iced oatmeal cookies were one of the cookies that I remember my mom buying for a special treat. I think that is because my dad loved them so much. But I loved them as well.

What I always loved about iced oatmeal cookies was that they were not crisp, but they were not soft either. They were the perfect balance of soft and crispy in one delicious cookie. And the icing on top made them even better.

As soon as I tasted these gluten free iced oatmeal cookies I knew I had that perfect balance of crispy and soft. The taste also was very close to the real thing.

These are one of my favorite gluten free cookies. And don’t skip the icing. It helps make these cookies even closer to the real thing.

Now go make some gluten free iced oatmeal cookies!
