Lemon Curd Cookies

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and powdered sugar.

1. Add in the egg yolk and extracts and cream until smooth.
2. Add the flour and salt and mix until just combined. Dough will appear crumbly but should come together into a nice ball when you gather it all together with your hands.
3. Use a small scoop to portion 1/2 inch rolled dough balls and distribute evenly on a cookie sheet. (These cookies don't spread much.)
4. Use your thumb or the bottom of a rounded wooden spoon to make an indentation in the middle of each cookie.
5. Pipe or spoon lemon curd or other filling inside the cookies.
6. Bake at 325F for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are firm and just barely turning golden.
7. In a small bowl mix together the icing ingredients, adding more liquid or powdered sugar as needed for desired consistency.
8. Cookies can be stored at room temperature for 3-5 days in an airtight container or 7-10 days in the fridge.
