Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Cookies
Simple and delicious cookies with hearty oats, cinnamon and the perfect icing drizzle. This Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Cookies recipe is a fun way to start the day. Simple ingredients and done from start to finish in 30 minutes!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- ½ c pure maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp oil canola or vegetable
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups quick oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (I used white whole wheat flour in original recipe)
- ½ T cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
Icing Drizzle
- ½ c powdered sugar
- 1 -2 tsp whole milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, mix oats, flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Add dry ingredients into wet and mix to combine.
- Spoon onto parchment lined baking sheet and gently press them as they will not spread much at all. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set and edges are slightly becoming golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- For best results, add drizzle when cookies are cool. Whisk ingredients together and add to a small plastic bag. Cut small slit and then drizzle each cookie, or use a spoon to drizzle.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for about 3-4 days at room temperature. I feel that the cookies lose moisture when stored in the refrigerator and prefer them room temperature. You can warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Do not over bake these. Trust me! It is better to take them out too early than too late. They will be super dry and nobody wants that!
The number of cookies that this recipe yields can vary. I usually get about 16-18 cookies using a cookie scoop. You can certainly just roll into about 1 1/2 inch balls and then press instead of using a scoop.
