Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Two weeks ago our pastor asked us to make cookies and take it to another church by us to say thank you for what they do, in the spirit of one church.  Rick works for the a local Catholic hospital and I wanted to honor the Parish staff.  We're asked to do it last week but I'm a little late with my crazy week getting ready to leave town, but I got them done!

I found these Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies by Six Sister Stuff's and had to make them!  I then found a glaze that was used on some Apple Oat Cookies by Betty Crocker.

Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2½ cups all-purpose flour
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 package (about 2 cups) cinnamon chips (found by the chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar.
Beat in eggs.
Add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together baking soda, salt, cinnamon and flour. Add to wet mixture and mix until combined.
Fold in oats and cinnamon chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 7-8 minutes for chewy cookies or 9-10 minutes for crisp cookies.

ALEXIS NOTES: I used a little pumpkin spice instead of just cinnamon to give a more fall flavor.  I also used my homemade butter.  I found the Cinnamon Chips at Walmart, I've also seen them at Target and a few other grocery stores.

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 tablespoons apple juice

In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar and apple juice until smooth, using wire whisk or fork. Drizzle over cooled cookies on cooling rack. Let stand about 1 hour or until glaze is set.

ALEXIS NOTES:  To make this even more fall feeling I thought an apple sugar glaze was called for.
