Things are certainly boring during the pandemic sometimes. Another recipe hanging out in my to try file and wanting to make something lemony found this recipe.These cookies spread out really big so it only made 2 dozen which I shared with a few peeps at work but made them each a small bag since it wasn't good to have them on a plate for people to grab one with trying to keep safe from virus germs.
LEMON OATMEAL COOKIES
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
grated zest from 1 small lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup sugar for top of cookies
1/4 cup lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, wish together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl with a mixer beat the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lemon extract, vanilla and zest and blend well.
Slowly add dry ingredients. Add the oatmeal and mix well.
Roll dough into small balls about walnut size. Press a glass in the lemon juice and sugar and pat the cookies down. These cookies spread quite a lot. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes until tops are lightly brown. Cool.
