These oatmeal cookies are based on the iced oatmeal cookies of my childhood. My grandma was an avid baker and would make delicious soft oatmeal cookies but also made a special place in the cookie jar for those crunchy, iced oatmeal cookies that one could find in the market! These are a combo of both of those memories!
