Ingredients
- 9 salted butter 255 grams or ounces
- 3 caster sugar superfine, 85 grams or ounces
- egg yolk, large
- lemon juice 1 tablespoon
- lemon zest of 1
- 13 all-purpose flour 370 grams or ounces
Instructions
- Place the butter and caster sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them until they pale in color. You can use a wooden spoon, a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer to do this.
- Then, add the egg yolk, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture. Again, mix until all is combined well.
- Fold in the plain flour, cornstarch, and ground almonds and stir until thoroughly mixed. Cover the bowl with a cling film and keep the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
- When ready to bake, line the baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°f / 180℃ or at gas mark 4.
- Roll the dough the size of a cherry tomato into a small ball. Put the ball onto the lined baking sheet. Keep doing this until you finish all the dough. Make sure you place the dough balls well-spaced apart.
- Press each ball with your thumb until you create an indentation. Don't press too hard up to the bottom of the dough.
- Bake the cookie dough for about 20-25 minutes until golden and firm outside.
- Once you take the cookies out of the oven, fill each with ½ teaspoon chilled lemon curd. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you don't have caster sugar, the best substitute is powdered sugar. Because it will melt quickly with the other ingredients, leaving no grainy texture to the dough.
- You can also use shop-bought bottled lemon juice if you don't have fresh lemon.
