The Best Lemon Oatmeal Cookies Recipe for Refreshing Summer Snacking by 30Seconds Food
Oatmeal cookies and lemon cookies are always fan favorites. But what if you combine the two? Yep, we did it! This easy oatmeal lemon cookies recipe is the best of both cookie worlds. You get the texture from the oatmeal, and the light refreshing twang from the lemon zest and juice. Perfect!
For this easy lemon oatmeal cookies recipe you'll need butter, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, flour, quick-cooking oats, baking powder and a pinch of salt. The ingredients are mixed together to create a dough, then refrigerated for at least one hour to firm up. This step is important because when at room temperature, the dough is a bit too soft to handle. The cookies are baked for about eight minutes and then cooled.
Serve these easy lemon cookies with oatmeal for a sweet snack or as a light dessert. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container so they stay fresh.
