Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
- Pulse the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until fine and fragrant.
- Lay 1 of the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the sheet with about half of the butter and sprinkle with half of the lemon-sugar. Lightly press sugar into the pastry with a rolling pin. Place the other pastry sheet on top, brush with the remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Carefully roll the pastry out into a 12-inch square, about 1 1/8-inch thick. Trim uneven edges with a pizza cutter or a knife to make a perfect square.
- Starting on the closest edge, roll the pastry up into a cylinder but stop at the mid point of the dough. Roll the pastry up on the opposite side so it looks like an old-fashioned scroll. Adjust the rolls so they are even and meet in the center. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
- Slice the roll, crosswise, with a serrated knife into 1/4-inch thick pieces and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies soften, about 10 minutes. Working quickly and efficiently, remove the cookies from the oven--if they have lost their shape, gently roll them back together. Let cool on the pan for a minute to set. Turn them with a spatula (take care to keep the shape) sprinkle with the yellow sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack, sugary sides up, to cool. Serve.
- Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

AIR FRYER LEMON-PEPPER WINGS
We love wings in my household and thanks to the air fryer we are able to eat them more often without the guilt of deep-fry. Buffalo flavor is my go-to but I was wanting something different. Something with bold flavor but no heat and I came up with these.

LEMONY ROASTED CHICKEN WINGS
These meaty out-of-the-ordinary roasted wings are infused with lots of lemon, garlic and rosemary, then roasted on a bed of fingerling potatoes. Use a large roasting pan that's at least 3 inches deep, or a big earthenware gratin dish, or a couple of Pyrex lasagna pans side by side. The lemony chicken and potatoes are delicious hot and crisp, but just as good at cool room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse potatoes with lukewarm water and pat dry.
- Spread chicken wings out on a baking sheet or cutting board in a single layer. Season both sides of wings generously with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes as desired.
- Transfer seasoned wings to a large bowl. Add olive oil, lemon slices, rosemary and garlic and toss well with (plastic-gloved) hands so everything is evenly coated.
- Place potatoes on the bottom of a roasting pan. Arrange seasoned wings over potatoes in a single layer. Add wine and cover pan tightly with foil.
- Bake, covered, for about 45 minutes, until potatoes are done. Remove foil and return the pan to the oven and bake about 20 minutes more, until wings are nicely browned. Using tongs, turn wings over and bake for another 20 minutes to brown the wings' other side. Sprinkle with dried oregano, and serve hot or at room temperature.

- Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will help to release the essential oils from the lemon peel, which will give your Lemon Angel Wings a more intense flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your Lemon Angel Wings tough.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the Lemon Angel Wings. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
- Cook the Lemon Angel Wings over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the Lemon Angel Wings warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, and fruit.
