Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Whisk in the canned pumpkin puree, sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the icing.
