Discover the perfect balance of tangy and sweet with these Lemony Oatmeal Cookies. The bright citrus notes from fresh lemon peel and extract perfectly complement the hearty texture of rolled oats, while chopped candied cherries add bursts of sweetness and color throughout. These delightful treats are finished with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar for an elegant touch that makes them perfect for afternoon tea, holiday cookie exchanges, or anytime you crave a sophisticated cookie with a refreshing twist. - Claude
