Iced Oatmeal Cookies
February 6, 2013 in cookie
Back in my high school days, parties were a big thing. I’m not talking about “Parents are out of town, let’s party!” parties. I’m talking parties in Spanish class where everyone brings a snack they bought at Winn Dixie 15 minutes before school started. Which was basically just an excuse to not learn Spanish.
I dreaded these parties. Dreaded them with every ounce of my being. I almost always tried to fake sick or come up with some excuse to not show up that day. Because I was that obnoxious girl (and still am occasionally) who didn’t eat in public. So these parties meant I was in for 2 hours of being surrounded by something that made me incredibly uncomfortable.
But anyway, every time there was a class party at least 5 people would show up with those iced oatmeal cookies. They were the it food of my high school years. And not just any iced oatmeal cookies, they had to be the Walmart brand.
And these cookies? Are exactly like those. But obviously better since you don’t have to leave your house.
(For the record, I maintained a 106 through Spanish 1 and 2 which I credit to hiding in the corner and reading my book over and over again during these parties.)

I want these. I don’t think I’ve ever had a cookie like this, well since I never grew up with Walmart nearby but I think I’ll love them!
I need these in the worst way!
These cookies totally bring me back to my childhood! I can’t remember what brand we had but I loved ‘em. It’s gotta be at least 15 years since I’ve had one – pinning these immediately :)
I love these cookies and would love to make them at home! Your recipe looks so delish!
I LOVE these cookies!! I probably could eat the entire batch, especially with that icing. Total childhood, right here.
Homemade is always better. I love everything about these and would probably take down a dozen in a matter of minutes. Yum!
