Lemon Oatmeal Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch

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. —Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs, Colorado
