Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1 cup oats
90g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
2 cup dried cranberries
300g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. This can take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add the Egg:
Beat in the egg, making sure it's fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
4. Mix in Lemon:
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the self-raising flour and oats. Mix well.
6. Integrate Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Continue mixing until you form a dough.
7. Add Cranberries:
Fold in the dried cranberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Shape the Cookies:
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your freshly baked cranberry lemon cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.: Using fresh lemon zest and juice enhances the citrusy aroma and tanginess of the cookies, making them more vibrant and flavorful.

- Ensure butter is at room temperature.: Softened butter blends more easily with other ingredients, resulting in a smoother dough and better texture.

- Chill the dough before baking.: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much, ensuring they retain a nice, chewy texture.

- Adjust baking time based on your oven.: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on the cookies. They are done when the edges are slightly golden brown.

- Experiment with add-ins.: Feel free to add nuts, white chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to customize the cookies to your taste.

There you have it—deliciously tangy and sweet Cranberry Lemon Cookies! These cookies are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy them with a cup of tea, coffee, or on their own for a delightful treat. Happy baking!
