Tips:
- Use fresh lemon and ginger: Fresh lemon and ginger provide the best flavor and aroma to the cookies. If you don't have fresh lemon or ginger, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies are done baking when they are just set around the edges and still a little soft in the center. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These ginger lemon oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, or different dried fruits, such as cranberries or raisins. You can also drizzle the cookies with melted white chocolate or icing for a special treat.
