  3. Stir in the quick oats until evenly distributed.
Bake Cookies

  2. Let cool briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
  1. Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, mixing until fluffy. Adjust consistency with more sugar or cream as needed.
