Summer Lemon Sugar Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup quick oats

Preparation

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, beating well.
Beat in lemon rind and juice.
Gradually add flour mixture, then stir in oats.
Chill dough thoroughly (at least 2 hours).
Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place onto greased cookie sheets, allowing room for cookies to spread.
Using a flat-bottomed glass or custard cup that has been greased and dipped into sugar, flatten each ball to a 1/4 inch thickness (dip the glass into sugar each time).
Bake at 375 degrees F until lightly browned around the edges, about 8 - 10 minutes.
Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then carefully move to wire rack.
