1 One half cup Butter; softened
1 One half cup Granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place the butter in a large bowl and cream lightly with an electric mixer.
Add the sugars and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and lemon
juice and mix well.

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, salt and

Using a One fourth cup measure or a 2oz ice cream scoop, drop the batter on the

parchment and cool on wire racks.
