Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup sugar (plus extra for rolling)
– 1 large egg
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Flatten slightly and create a small indent in the center.
5. Spoon a small amount of lemon curd into the indent, then pinch the dough closed to seal the filling. Roll sealed dough in sugar.
6. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
7. Let cool slightly before enjoying the molten lemon filling!
