“Luscious Lemon Thumbprint Cookies

• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
• After baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Fill the Thumbprints:

• Once the cookies are completely cooled, fill the thumbprint indentations with lemon curd (or your lemon glaze).
• If you’re using lemon glaze, drizzle it into the thumbprints with a spoon or small piping bag.

6. Optional Garnish:

• Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a pretty finish.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Enjoy these luscious lemon thumbprint cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a refreshing addition to any dessert platter!

Tips:

• Make Ahead: The cookie dough can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough for up to a month.
• Lemon Curd: If you’re using homemade lemon curd, make sure it’s completely cooled before filling the cookies.
• Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The lemon curd will keep the cookies moist.
