This is an especially fun recipe to make with kids because they can roll the dough into balls and flatten them on the baking sheets. The lemon and oatmeal add a nice twist to traditional sugar cookies. \u2014Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs,

Made 60 cookies using my 1\u201d cookie scoop. I added about 1\/2 tsp poppy seeds to mixture. Used zest from two lemons. One lemon gave a smidge over 3 tablespoons lemon juice. So added 1\/8 cup extra flour. Rolled 1\u201d balls in raw turbinado sugar and pressed to 1\/4 thickness using bottom of glass. They didn\u2019t stick to cup when the dough was chilled. Dough that came chilled from fridge baked best; they did not spread out. Baked 11 minutes on parchment.. Cookies usually don\u2019t brown on parchment paper so I did not leave them past 11 minutes. Outside was crunchy and inside just a tad soft but fully baked. I rolled 1\u201d dough balls in raw turbans sugar then pressed cookies with bottom of glass cup to about 1\/4\u201d thick. I kept dough in fridge to keep chilled while batches were baking....except for last batch. The dough got too warm so stuck to glass while pressing and they spread out into thin cookies while baking. So for this recipe, keep dough chilled for best results Unless you like thin crispy cookies.

I used the \"raw\" sugar for the sugar topping. These are a definite keeper! My family LOVES these.

I used 3 tsp of lemon rind (instead of 2) and there was VERY LITTLE lemon flavor. I only got slightly more than half of the 6 dozen the recipe claimed - maybe she meant tsp sized balls rather than Tbsp?? I expected a softer cookie than the normal sugar cookie since there was oatmeal in them, but not downright chewy. IF I ever try this recipe again, I would probably use lemon extract to give better flavor, use tsp sized balls of dough, and maybe even cook longer - I extended the 6-8 minute baking time to 9-10 minutes. Sorry Susan - your cookies are not a hit with me. OH, and the dough stuck to the glass - even with the sugar - almost every time.I have to amend my review - the people I made them for (all women) DID like the cookies.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-01-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanGoggles"},"reviewBody":"These are absolutely delicious!
