Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies
Description
Lemon curd cookies are a double delight: Shortbread cookies are always a favorite, but the addition of lemon curd and zest makes them fabulous.

•
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
•
1/4 cup white sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1
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 indent in the center of each using your thumb. Put a small spoonful of lemon curd into each indent.
