These Iced Oatmeal Cookie Bars are a delightful treat that combines the hearty texture of rolled oats with warm spices and a sweet vanilla icing. They are easy to make and perfect for any occasion, offering a comforting and nostalgic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Oatmeal Cookie Bars:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick or instant)
  • For the Vanilla Icing:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3–4 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 2–3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in oats gently until evenly mixed.
  7. Press dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center passes the toothpick test with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack; this may take up to 2 hours.
  10. Once cooled, prepare icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and optional salt. Adjust consistency if needed.
  11. Spread icing evenly over bars using a spatula.
  12. Let set at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
  13. Lift out using parchment handles, cut into squares or rectangles, and serve.
