Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter (room temperature)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1¼ cup sugar (for lemon curd)
  • 1½ tablespoons corn starch

Instructions

  1. Make the lemon curd: In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, egg yolks, sugar, and corn starch over medium heat until thickened (about 10 minutes). Stir in lemon zest and cold cubed butter until smooth. Let cool.
  2. Prepare cookie dough: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; gradually incorporate into wet mixture.
  4. Shape cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls and create an indentation on each.
  5. Bake: Place on parchment-lined sheets and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly before filling with lemon curd.
