Description

These easy lemon cookie cups are soft, chewy, and filled with bright lemon flavor, making them a perfect citrusy treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package (17.5 oz) sugar cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Divide the sugar cookie dough into 24 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  3. Place each ball into the prepared muffin tin and gently press down to form a cup shape.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately press the center of each cookie with a spoon to maintain the cup shape. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix lemon curd, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  7. Spoon about 1 tsp of lemon mixture into each cooled cookie cup.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can make your own lemon curd or use store-bought.
  • Chilling the dough slightly before baking can help it hold its shape better.
  • Store cookie cups in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
