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 the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The lemon flavor is not overpowering and it pairs perfectly with the oats. I also love the addition of the nuts, which give the cookies a nice crunch.
