Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • Zest of 1 Lemon

Lemon Curd Filling

  • 1/2 cup Lemon Curd

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  3. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
  5. Add the Lemon Curd: Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie ball using your thumb or the back of a spoon. Spoon a small amount of lemon curd into each indentation.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Lemons for best flavor.
  • Don’t Overmix to ensure tender cookies.
  • Chill for Best Results to maintain shape.
  • Keep an Eye on Baking Time to avoid overbaking.
  • Experiment with Flavors for personalization.
