If you’ve never tried using lemon curd as a filling for cookies, you’re in for a real treat today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These lemon curd cookies are a fun twist on my classic thumbprint cookies<\/a>. It’s the same soft shortbread dough, but infused with lemon zest and lemon extract to deliver a distinct \u2014 but not overpowering \u2014 lemon flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also no dough chilling required for this recipe. All you have to do is mix the cookie dough together, scoop and roll it in sugar, then press down to create a little well for the lemon curd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cookies are a perfect make-ahead dessert for just about any occasion and they keep well for several days too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
