Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 3/4 cup lemon curd

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Next add the flour, salt and poppy seeds, mix until the dough begins to stick together and form a ball.
  • By hand, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb to leave an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from oven (if the indentations look shallow push them down slightly). Fill each thumbprint with lemon curd.
  • Bake for an additional 2 minutes. This will set the curd. Transfer to cooling racks and cool.
