Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl add the sugar, brown sugar and butter, beat using a hand mixer until the butter is completely smooth and mixed with the sugars.

Add the 2 tsp of vanilla extract, molasses, egg and egg yolk to the bowl, beat until completely mixed together. In a small bowl add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir.

Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat with the hand mixer until completely mixed together. Slowly add in the oats as you are mixing with the beater. Once it’s very well mixed together, roll the dough into 1 and 1/2 tbsp sized balls.

Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart from each other. Lightly press down with your hand or the bottom of a measuring spoon, about 3/4 of the way thick.

Place in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until a golden brown color. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Once they are cool make the icing.

In a medium sized bowl add the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk and stir until there are no more clumps. Take the cooled cookies and dip just the tops of the cookies into the icing, let some of the icing drip off back into the bowl and then place them back on the wire rack until the icing is slightly hardened. Serve and enjoy!
