Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Freshly grated zest of one lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray; line with parchment, and spray parchment.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Add eggs, vanilla, zest, and salt. Beat until pale and smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in baking powder and oats. Let stand 10 minutes.
Drop batter by the teaspoon, 3 inches apart, onto prepared sheets. Press each into a round with the back of a spoon. Bake until golden, about 9 minutes. Transfer cookies (still on parchment) to wire racks to cool completely. Carefully remove from parchment with a spatula.
