I feel like a normal child likes chocolate chip cookies...and while I did love chocolate chip cookies. I was also in love with molasses cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, and iced oatmeal cookies as well. The latter is the funniest to me because I don't like crunchy cookies, but iced oatmeal cookies are the exception. These ones actually aren't super thin and crunchy like the ones from my childhood, but are still fantastic. They are such a hearty cookie and the glaze is divine even if it has maple in it - which I am not fond of. They are so wonderfully full of warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

These were also a huge hit with the family. In fact, Nick stashed half a dozen in a plastic baggie in his secret hiding place for food. And he claims he is NOT a sweets eater. He doesn't really like desserts. Of course, this is such a joke...literally every time I make a dessert, he exclaims it is the best thing he's ever eaten. It cracks me up. These are the perfect little cookie for the cooler season approaching.
