How to Make Lemon Tea Cookies With Lemon Curd Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up for easier handling.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  6. Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a slight indentation.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool (about 30 minutes), fill each cookie indentation with lemon curd.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
