Lemon Oatmeal Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 2 cups sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup quick-cooking oats

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Additional sugar

Method:

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice. In another bowl, whisk flour, oats, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.

2. Preheat oven to 375°. Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls; place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Coat bottom of a glass with cooking spray, then dip in sugar. Press cookies with bottom of glass to flatten, redipping in sugar as needed.
