These iced oatmeal cookie shots taste just like an iced oatmeal cookie. They're made with a crunchy oatmeal cookie base, coated with candy melts, and sprinkled with cinnamon. Fill with your favorite creamy drink.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray nonstick cooking spray into each cookie shot pan tin and the inserts.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined.
Add flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and stir.
Scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of dough into your hand and form a ball. Place the ball in the bottom of one shot glass mold. Press the insert straight down into the mold evenly so that the insert does not push into the sides to create holes. Repeat this step with the remaining molds.
Trim any overflowing cookie dough from the tops. If the dough does not reach the top, that is okay, it will rise a little as it bakes.
Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes and then carefully twist the inserts out of the mold. Place the cookie shots on the cooling rack.
If you are planning to add a liquid to the shots, I recommend melting almond bark or candy melts and brushing the insides of the shots with it to prevent them from getting soggy too fast and any leaks you might have from tiny holes in the cookie.
To decorate, you can also dip the rims in almond bark/candy coating them in sprinkles, cookie crumbs, finely chopped peanuts, or chopped chocolate bars to give them a festive look.
