Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the mixture, and beat on low speed until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or a piping bag.
Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your tangy, chewy lemon oatmeal cookies!
