Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until thoroughly creamed. Gradually mix in flour, 1 cup at a time. Add lemon zest and mix until well blended.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Make an indention into the center of each using your thumb. Put a small spoonful of lemon curd into the depressions.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, melted butter, egg and lemon zest with spoon until soft dough forms.
• Shape into 50 (1-inch) balls. In small bowl, place sparkling sugar. Dip top of each ball in sugar. Place balls, sugared side up, 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets. Using end of wooden spoon, make 1/2-inch circle indentation in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, spoon lemon curd into small resealable freezer bag; partially seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag. Insert cut corner of bag into indentation in each cookie. Squeeze bag to fill opening, about 1/4 teaspoon per cookie. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a bowl. Mix in egg yolks, lavender, vanilla, and almond extract until combined.
• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix to combine.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb (or another utensil, like the bottom of a shot glass) to make indentations in the center of each cookie. Add enough lemon curd to completely fill each indentation. Place baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
