LEMON-SLICE COOKIES
These trompe l'oeil lemon-slice cookies must be made using a Silpat -- they will stick if made on parchment. For a simple variation, make the dough into two logs, and roll them in Lemon Sugar. Chill the logs, cut each into eighteen 1/3-inch-thick slices, and bake on parchment-lined baking sheets.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line two 11-by-17-inch baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, butter, lemon oil, and egg yolks; beat at medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add dry ingredients; beat to combine.
- Flatten the dough, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Place 18 candied lemon slices on each baking sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. On a lightly floured work surface, roll cookie dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut 36 rounds of dough using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Place one round of dough on top of each lemon slice. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool.
