Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Quick oats will result in a softer cookie, while steel-cut oats will be too chewy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These lemon oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for people with diabetes. They are made with whole grain oats, which are a good source of fiber and can help to regulate blood sugar levels. The cookies also contain lemon zest, which is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. These cookies are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health.
