Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, stirring until fully combined.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until the liquid ingredients are evenly incorporated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and salt. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir until everything is fully combined. The batter will be sticky and a bit loose.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Be careful not to overbake as they can darken quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheet for 5-10 minutes, as they will firm up as they cool.
Carefully transfer the cooled cookies to a wire rack for complete cooling. Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.
Store the Lemon Oat Lacies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy them on their own or with a cup of tea!
