How To Make Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Step 2: Prepare flax eggs by mixing flax seed meal and hot water in a bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes until a gel forms. Skip this step if using a regular egg.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted vegan butter, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flax eggs. Add flour and oats, then mix until a batter forms.
Step 4: Scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-9 minutes. Once done, allow them to cool completely before frosting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing to retain their texture.
Airtight Container: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming dry and to preserve their deliciousness.
Layering: If you need to stack the cookies in the container, consider placing parchment paper or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Room Temperature: If you plan to consume the cookies within a few days, storing them at room temperature in a cool, dry place is suitable.
Refrigeration (Optional): To extend their shelf life, especially in warmer climates, you can refrigerate the cookies. Use an airtight container to prevent absorption of odors.
Freezing (Optional): For longer storage, freeze the cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or resealable bag. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Avoid Moisture: Keep the storage container away from direct sunlight, and avoid placing them near items with strong odors.
