I saw this on Ten Dollar Dinners and it sounded delish. I have it on the menu to make and didn't want to lose it, so posting it here. The flavor is bright and the cookies are soft and chewy. I hope you enjoy, it has rave reviews on the foodnetwork site. You can use smaller scoops to make 30 intead of 15 cookies. One reviewer made these dairy and gluten free by substituting coconut oil (@ room temp coconut oil is in its solid form, in place of butter; adds natural sweetness, eliminates all the cholesterol, All Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and adding 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum per 1c flour (helps ingredients bind as would gluten.

LEMON OATMEAL COOKIES

Our lemon tree is exploding with lemons! My recipe calls for fresh lemon rind and juice. If you use packaged lemon zest, you might want to add more than the 2 teaspoons. This cookie is light and crispy, not moist and chewey.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 dozen cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (soft)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons lemon rind
3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter, shortening, sugar and eggs, mix well, beat in lemon zest, juice and extract.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt, stir in oatmeal.
  • Chill dough 2-3 hrs (I keep dough for up to 4-5 days and make a few at a time).
  • Roll dough in walnut sized pieces, toss generously in powdered sugar; place 1-2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly with the bottom of a juice jar.
  • Bake at 350 about 12-15 minute or until browned around the edges. Make sure to let them brown enough so they will be crispy.
  • Cool and serve.

Tips:

  • For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • For crispier cookies, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • If you don't have lemon zest, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice instead.
  • If you don't have rolled oats, you can use quick oats instead. Just be sure to pulse them in a food processor until they are the same consistency as rolled oats.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These lemon oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Be sure to experiment with different add-ins, such as dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped nuts. Enjoy!
