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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the cooled cookies to a wire rack for complete cooling. Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.
Step 9
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!
