My lemon curd cookies are rich, buttery shortbread cookies with a zesty addition of lemon curd in the center.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c.
- Line a baking tray with parchment/baking paper and set aside.
- In a bowl whisk together plain flour, corn flour and salt then set aside.
- Place butter and icing sugar into a large bowl, and using a hand held mixer (or stand mixer with a paddle attachment) cream together until the mixture is pale yellow and creamy.
- Mix in vanilla extract.
- Add the reserved flour to the butter mixture a third at a time, beating each time until just incorporated.
- Scrape in any unmixed flour from the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Using a tablespoon measure as a guide, roll cookie dough into balls and place on the prepared baking tray.
- Use your knuckle (or something less fun like a measuring spoon maybe) to press down slowly on the cookie dough balls to flatten slightly and make an indent.
- Fill each indent with lemon curd, then place in the oven to bake.
- Bake for 9 - 10 minutes, or until they just start to go brown around the edges.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes to firm up, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Dust with a little extra icing sugar if you wish.
Notes
- Pressing on the balls slowly will mean that the dough won't crack as much - you will still have some cracks though.
- The smoother your balls are to start the fewer cracks you will have.
- If you aren't happy with the way one looks, just pick it up and re-roll it into a ball to start again.
- You shouldn't need to flour your hands to roll the balls, the dough shouldn't stick due to the amount of butter.
- If your hands are warming the cookie dough up too much, placing the palm of your hand on a bag of frozen peas or corn a few times as you roll will keep them cooler. Just wipe off any moisture before you start rolling.
- If your knuckle is getting a bit stuck in the indents, just give it a little twist as you lift it out.
