Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add lemon zest and lemon juice to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until combined.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oatmeal gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion out dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Dampen the bottom of a glass, dip it in sugar, and flatten each dough ball slightly.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  10. Mix together confectioner's sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to prepare the glaze.
  11. Dip the tops of cooled cookies in the glaze and let excess drip off.
