Description

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, at room temperature
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2.5 oz. cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients -- oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Set aside.
• In another large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, coconut oil, brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth with a hand mixer (or a stand mixer using the paddle attachment).
• Add the egg and the vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
• Slowly measure in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Beat until combined.
• Using a 1 greased cookie scoop, dollop the cookies onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1½ apart.
• Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies have set and are slightly soft (but not too soft.)
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze.
• Measure the cream cheese, maple syrup, powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. You can also do this step by hand or with a hand mixer, though Ive found the glaze doesnt come out as smooth.
• When the cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze over them, and enjoy!
