Lemon Oatmeal Sugar Cookies image

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. The lemon and oatmeal add a nice twist to traditional sugar cookies. -Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs, Colorado

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional oatmeal cookies.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies came out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies didn't turn out well for me. The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! The lemon flavor was perfect, not too overpowering. They were also very easy to make, and I loved that I didn't have to chill the dough before baking.
