This is one of my favorite cut-out cookie recipes because it is so unique and you never see them anywhere else. It’s also one of the cookies that I grew up with and that my family made every year for Christmas, along with regular cut-out sugar cookies. We love these chewy sugar cookies and I know you will too! I’m not a huge fan of oatmeal for breakfast, but I sure do love it in dessert form! Some of my other favorite treats made with oats are Carmelitas, Oatmeal Fudge Bars, and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! This recipe came from my Grandma Casebolt (my dad’s mom) who was passed away when I was a freshman in high school. Her name was Erna and her twin sister’s name was Erma (yep, really!), which continues to fascinate me endlessly that my great-grandparents would give their twins almost identical names. They had 14 kids in all and by the time my grandma and her twin sister came along, I guess my great-grandparents had run out of ideas for baby names! Even more crazy is that another set of twins was born after my grandma and her twin. Twins definitely run in our family and skipped a generation like they say — my sister has twin girls of her own too! My grandma would make these oatmeal rolled sugar cookies and sandwich two of them with frosting in the middle. I like them frosted more like classic sugar cookies though, with sprinkles. They are SO yummy and fun. These cut-out cookies hold their shape really well and don’t spread too much as long as you chill the dough before rolling and baking. The edges get just a little crispy but the cookies stay nice and soft and chewy in the center as long as you don’t overbake them.

Sugar Cookie Frosting
You could decorate these oatmeal rolled sugar cookies with this easy royal icing recipe for sugar cookies if you wanted to, but I like the more old-fashioned, homey look of an easy buttercream sugar cookie frosting spread on the cookies with a butter knife. I’m including my favorite basic sugar cookie frosting along with the oatmeal rolled sugar cookies recipe at the bottom of this post. It’s an easy recipe made by just creaming softened butter with powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fluffy and the perfect consistency for spreading on these oatmeal rolled sugar cookies.
