Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Add the oats and shredded coconut (if using), and stir until well combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until they firm up.
Enjoy your fresh, tangy no-bake cookies!
Tips:
Add a little extra lemon zest if you love a more citrusy flavor.
For a more decadent treat, drizzle with a little white chocolate or dip them in chocolate.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
