Christmas is just weeks away and we may not have our tree up or presents bought, but we have cookies. 🙂 I love all kinds of Christmas cookies, snowballs and chocolate crinkles being two of my favorites. But a cookie plate just can’t be a cookie plate without some type of spice cookie and these Oatmeal Spice Cookies are among my favorite.

Oatmeal Spice Cookies with Maple Glaze

The dough is flattened out a little on the cookie sheet to produce a big, thin cookie. Take them out of the oven when they still look undercooked. By the time they cool, they will be fully cooked, but still retain a wonderful soft texture.

Add some raisins if you like. (I don’t like :)) Some toasted chopped pecans add a buttery flavor and some contrast to the texture.

Once cooked, drizzle with a simple maple glaze for an extra yummy Christmas cookie.

Recipe Tip

I’ve found if I chop the raisins up into little pieces and add them to the batter, I love them in these cookies. If you are kind of iffy about raisins in your cookies, give this a try. You get a little additional flavor from the raisins, but not the texture of the raisins,
