How to Make Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Icing

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Set aside the dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup shortening, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup buttermilk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the cookies bake, prepare the icing: In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a light golden brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a desired drizzling consistency.
Drizzle the brown butter icing over the warm cookies and let them cool completely before serving.
