Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the molasses and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Scoop out 3-tablespoon portions of dough onto the baking sheets, flatten slightly, and leave space between them.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden; watch closely to keep them chewy.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Prepare icing by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  10. Once cooled, ice the tops of the cookies and let the icing set.
