I almost made lemon slices out of royal icing, but candied lemon slices were the perfect decoration for these decorated lemon cookies (and they saved me a ton of time!)

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!

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.
