You’ll find a detailed candied lemon recipe with lots of tips on One Sweet Appetite‘s blog and the full cookie decorating tutorial is in the Cookie Art Club!

Lately I’ve been feeling inspired by lemon patterns with blue and white designs and even though summer is coming to a close, I still felt compelled to make these bright and sunny cookies.
The cookies themselves are also lemon flavored, of course! This cookie recipe along with all of my other recipes are available to my Cookie Art Club members.
