Lemon Oatmeal Cookies
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (soft)
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon rind
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Cream butter, shortening, sugar and eggs, mix well, beat in lemon zest, juice and extract.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt, stir in oatmeal.
- Chill dough 2-3 hrs (I keep dough for up to 4-5 days and make a few at a time).
- Roll dough in walnut sized pieces, toss generously in powdered sugar; place 1-2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly with the bottom of a juice jar.
- Bake at 350 about 12-15 minute or until browned around the edges. Make sure to let them brown enough so they will be crispy.
- Cool and serve.
