Lemon Oatmeal Cookies image

My grandmother always made these cookies for us for Christmas, and now I have inherited that task. I make them throughout the year because I enjoy baking a lot. With rich cream cheese in the dough and the sugary almond topping, a batch doesn't last long at our house!

These cookies are so easy to make! I love that I can just mix everything together in one bowl and have them in the oven in no time. They're also a great way to use up some leftover oats.
