Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the rolled oats.
Shape the cookies: Scoop the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
