Instructions
Step 1
Servings Makes about 24 cookies
Step 2
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure those cookies come off as easy as pie.
Step 3
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt — these dry are the foundation, the good earth upon which your cookies will grow.
Step 4
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, like a soft cloud at dawn. Add in the egg and blend it to perfection.
Step 5
4. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and watch as the citrus aroma unfolds, like a breeze through the kitchen window.
Step 6
5. Gradually mix in the dry you set aside earlier until just combined, taking care not to overwork the dough.
Step 7
6. Gently fold in the rolled oats. The dough will be a bit sticky but as hearty and wholesome as a handshake.
Step 8
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving some room for the cookies to spread their wings as they bake.
Step 9
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft. When they're done, let them rest on the baking sheet for a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Patience, my dear, is key.
Step 10
- For a nuttier twist, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans alongside the oats.
Step 11
- If you're fond of raisins or dried cranberries, a handful tossed into the dough will complete the ensemble beautifully.
Step 12
- Store these darlings in an airtight container to keep them as fresh as the morning dew for 3-4 days, if they last that long!
Step 13
- As with all treasured recipes, don't be afraid to add your own touch; a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can bring a warmth reflective of the changing seasons.
