Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • Zest of 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 cup lemon curd

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat butter, sugar, and eggs until creamy and smooth.
  • Add lime zest, lime juice and salt. Mix until just combined.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on the lined cookie sheet (12 at a time). Dip your thumb in flour then press your thumb into each cookie dough ball, creating an indention.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cookies are light golden in color. Remove from the oven and fill each indention with lemon curd. Place bake in the oven for 2 more minutes, allowing the lemon curd to firm up. Remove from cookie sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.
