Lemony Oat Cookies
- MAKES
- 48 (about 4 dozen)
- COOK TIME
- 20 Min
We love to dunk these in a glass of hot tea or spiced apple cider... Mmm!
What You'll Need
- 2 cup (4 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 cup chopped candied cherries
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
What to Do
- In a large bowl, beat the margarine and sugar until creamy. Add the remaining ingredients, except the confectioners' sugar; mix well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with the bottom of a glass repeatedly dipped in confectioners' sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden. Cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Notes
If you'd prefer these without the chopped candied cherries, no problem -- just leave them out.
