Introduction to Lemon Curd Cookies Lemon Curd Cookies are a delightful treat that combines a buttery cookie base with a tangy, smooth lemon curd filling.
Ingredients You'll Need Gather flour, sugar, butter, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Making the Cookie Dough Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and lemon zest, then mix in flour, baking powder, and salt to form a dough.
Chilling the Dough Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
Shaping the Cookies Roll the dough into small balls and press a thumbprint in the center of each to create a space for the curd.
Preparing the Lemon Curd Cook lemon juice, sugar, and eggs over low heat until thickened. Stir in butter for a silky, tangy lemon curd.
Filling the Cookies Spoon a small amount of lemon curd into the thumbprint of each cookie before baking for a burst of citrus flavor.
Baking the Cookies Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden and the cookies are set.
