			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:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- 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.
- Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of lemon curd. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- 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.
