Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt, mixing well. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing on high for another minute.
Combine Ingredients
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until fully combined. You’ll know it’s ready when the dough forms a cohesive ball.
Chill the Dough
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.
Preheat and Shape
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into about 36 balls (roughly 1 tablespoon each) and place them evenly spaced on the prepared tray.
Create Indents
- Use your thumb to create a small well in the center of each dough ball.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
Fill with Lemon Curd
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, fill each indent with lemon curd while they’re still warm.
Cool Down
- Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool at room temperature.
Notes
Don't skip the chill time; it enhances the texture and flavor. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of elegance.
