Time 1h5m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt

Steps:

  • For the cookie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor or mini chopper until finely ground. Whisk the ground oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Mix the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, using either a hand mixer with a large bowl or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture until the dough is well combined.
  • Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, flatten and form the dough into a football shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over the surface. Bake until the cookie is light golden brown and set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For the frosting: Beat the butter until creamy on medium speed in a medium bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and salt. Beat until thick and creamy. Spoon the frosting into a quart-size zippered bag. Snip a small piece from the corner and pipe to create football laces or any other desired decorations.
