One reviewer made these dairy and gluten free by substituting coconut oil (@ room temp coconut oil is in its solid form, in place of butter; adds natural sweetness, eliminates all the cholesterol, All Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and adding 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum per 1c flour (helps ingredients bind as would gluten.

Our lemon tree is exploding with lemons! My recipe calls for fresh lemon rind and juice. If you use packaged lemon zest, you might want to add more than the 2 teaspoons. This cookie is light and crispy, not moist and chewey.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 dozen cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (soft)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons lemon rind
3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter, shortening, sugar and eggs, mix well, beat in lemon zest, juice and extract.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt, stir in oatmeal.
  • Chill dough 2-3 hrs (I keep dough for up to 4-5 days and make a few at a time).
  • Roll dough in walnut sized pieces, toss generously in powdered sugar; place 1-2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly with the bottom of a juice jar.
  • Bake at 350 about 12-15 minute or until browned around the edges. Make sure to let them brown enough so they will be crispy.
  • Cool and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect chewy texture, make sure to properly measure your ingredients. Avoid over-mixing the dough to prevent dry cookies.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your taste. You can substitute brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • To ensure even baking, use a cookie scoop to create uniform-sized dough balls. Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow for spreading during baking.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake for a few minutes longer. If you prefer chewy cookies, remove them from the oven just before they are fully set.
  • Experiment with different add-ins to enhance the flavor of your cookies. Try adding nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, or even spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
