How to Make Lemony Snickets

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in ½ cup crystallized ginger.
  5. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  6. **The Disguise:** In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Lightly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (Don't worry, you won't need the fire department!)
