Lavender Lemon Curd Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lavender Lemon Curd Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and get two baking sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, take your softened butter and blend it together with brown sugar and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, gently fold in the egg yolks, dried lavender, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your buttery concoction, stirring just until it all comes together—don’t overmix, as we want those cookies to be tender! Now, roll the dough into delightful 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.

5. Step 5

   To create a charming little well in each cookie, use your thumb or the bottom of a shot glass.

6. Step 6

   Fill each indentation generously with lemon curd, making sure it’s brimming with that zesty goodness.

7. Step 7

   Pop the baking sheets into the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to chill—this helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re nice and cool, take them out and drizzle a touch of honey over each cookie for a sweet finish.

9. Step 9

   Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

10. Step 10

    After baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of tasting these scrumptious treats!.
