Instructions

In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty in aroma; let cool slightly.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
In a mixer, cream the cooled brown butter with both sugars until smooth; add eggs one at a time along with vanilla and molasses.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined; fold in oats.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop tablespoons of dough onto sheets and bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth; drizzle over cooled cookies.
