tips + tricks for making the best lemon ginger oatmeal cookies

Make sure to use freshly squeezed lemon juice in this recipe. Do not use lemon juice from concentrate, it’s way too sour and not the flavor we want in these cookies.
Don’t forget the lemon zest. It’s super important in flavoring these cookies and gives them that zesty lemon flavor we love.

Instructions

step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the melted coconut oil and coconut sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add the grated ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond extract, and egg. Mix on low speed until combined.

step 4

With the mixer on low speed, add the flour/oat mixture and mix until just combined.

step 5

Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart (I fit 6 cookies per baking sheet).

step 6

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
