Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until thoroughly creamed. Gradually mix in flour, 1 cup at a time. Add lemon zest and mix until well blended.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Make an indent in the center of each using your thumb. Put a small spoonful of lemon curd into each indent.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
