How to Make Lemon Filled Dreams Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- For the lemon filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup lemon curd, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
- Roll out half of the cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Place a teaspoon of lemon filling in the center of half of the cookie circles.
- Top with the remaining cookie circles, gently pressing the edges to seal.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
