  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp maple extract optional
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp dry milk powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

for the maple spice glaze:

  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract optional
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • tiny pinch ground ginger

  • tiny pinch salt
  • 1 –2 tsp milk as needed

Instructions
 

make the cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, milk powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.
  • Add the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar to the cooled brown butter. Beat with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy.
  • Add the maple syrup, egg, vanilla and maple extract, if using. Beat again until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Add the oat mixture and mix just until everything is combined. Do not overmix.
  • Scoop the dough into roughly 2-tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden and the centres still look slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

make the glaze:

  • Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth, adding enough milk to make it easily drizzleable.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.
