Heavenly Coconut Lemon Curd Cookies 😋🍋🥥

These Coconut Lemon Curd Cookies are a delightful combination of tangy lemon curd and sweet toasted coconut. With their buttery base and vibrant topping, they make the perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
  • Extra shredded coconut for topping

Directions

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

2. Shape and Fill:

  • Form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indent in the center of each dough ball.
  • Fill each indent with a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of lemon curd.

3. Add Coconut:

  • Sprinkle the filled cookies with toasted coconut before baking.

4. Bake:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

5. Cool and Garnish:

  • Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with extra shredded coconut for added texture.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
