Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup powdered (confectioner's) sugar
  • cups` all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups lemon curd
  • cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter with a hand mixer until fluffy and light.
  • Add the powdered sugar and flour to the butter and slowly incorporate.
  • Add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Roll generous tablespoonfuls of dough into a ball and coat with granulated sugar.
  • Place the cookie balls on the parchment-lined sheets, spacing them apart by 2 inches. Using a round ½ teaspoon measuring spoon, create a thumbprint on each cookie, careful not to go too close to the bottom of the cookie.
  • Add a spoonful of lemon curd to each cookie, trying not to overfill.
  • Bake, until the edges of the cookie are just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from pan after baking and cool on a wire rack.
