Description
Delicious cookies filled with homemade lemon curd, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 recipe of Microwave Lemon Curd (linked)
Instructions
- First, make the microwave lemon curd recipe below, and place it in the fridge.
- Next, make the cookies: preheat the oven to 350.
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Next, add the vanilla and continue beating. Sprinkle in the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg and beat well.
- This is very important: slowly add the flour to the dough while mixing, about 1 tablespoon at a time. If you dump all of the flour in at once, the dough won’t come together.
- Scoop the dough into 12 teaspoon-sized mounds. Use the end of a small wooden spoon to make a divot in the center of each cookie. Press the edges together if the dough cracks a bit.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges of cookies brown slightly.
- Move the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Add scoops of lemon curd into the center of each cookie, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened before creaming.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
