Oatmeal Lemon Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the lemon peel, eggs, and lemon juice, and beat until combined.
2. In another bowl, whisk flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Gradually beat this into the other mixture. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until it is firm enough to shape.
3. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Use tablespoons to shape the dough into balls and place them 2-inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar onto the cookies and then press flat.
4. Bake for about 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are a light brown color. Let cool and enjoy!
