Luscious Lemon Curd Crème Brûlée Cookies

A delightful twist on classic cookies with a tangy lemon curd filling and a caramelized sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  5. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of lemon curd. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the lemon curd and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until bubbly and golden.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
