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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the mixture, and beat on low speed until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your tangy, chewy lemon oatmeal cookies!
