THE SECRET TO SUPER LEMONY COOKIES?

FOR EXTRA CITRUSY COOKIES, RUB THE SUGAR & LEMON ZEST FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES. IT ADDS SO MUCH MORE LEMON FLAVOR!

CAN I USE STORE-BOUGHT LEMON CURD?

Yes! I personally like homemade lemon curd best but store-bought lemon curd will work too. Just buy something high-quality!

MORE FILLING IDEAS

Fill the centers with raspberry or strawberry jam. Add melted chocolate after you bake the cookies. Add lemon curd after baking for lemon tart vibes.
