This is an especially fun recipe to make with kids because they can roll the dough into balls and flatten them on the baking sheets!
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2-3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional sugar
Directions
-In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. In another bowl, whisk flour, oats, baking powder, and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.
-Preheat oven to 375°. Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Coat the bottom of a glass with cooking spray, then dip it in sugar. Press cookies with the bottom of a glass to flatten, redipping in sugar as needed.
-Bake until edges are light brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
