Peanut Butter Soccer Ball Cookies

Ingredients:

Cookie

• 0.5 cups oatmeal
• 1 and 1/4 cups premium flour
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 0.5 tsp fine salt
• 110 g softened unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp. + 2 tsp. granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

• 110 g unsalted butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
2. Cookie:
   
   Grind the rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground. In a medium bowl, combine the ground oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. With a mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Mixing on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until a smooth batter forms.
3. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, smooth the dough into a football shape, about 1 cm thick. Sprinkle the surface with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar. Bake until the cookies are light brown and set, 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. Glaze:
   
   In a medium bowl, beat the butter on medium speed. Add the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Beat until thick and creamy. Spoon the icing into a zip-lock bag. Snip off the corner of the bag and use the icing to draw stripes and lacing on the ball.
