Notes
Pro Tips
- Don’t overbake the cookies as they might become dry.
- You can make the cookies in advance and keep the dough chilled in the fridge. Then, when it’s time to create the cookies, just bring it to room temperature and then bake it.
- Also, if you think the cookie dough is too wet or runny, chill it in the fridge for at least two hours. This will help firm it up for scooping and help keep it from spreading quickly.
- Make the lemon curd at home if you can. This will allow you to customize the flavor and texture, which premade lemon curd doesn't offer.
Recipe FAQs
How do you store lemon curd cookies? You can store any leftover cookies inside an airtight container, then put them inside the fridge. If you store them this way, you can enjoy them for up to a week. Can you freeze lemon curd cookies? Yes. After you’ve baked and cooled the cookies, don’t remove them from the baking sheet. Instead, put them in the freezer. Once frozen solid, you can just remove them from the sheet and then place them into a freezer-safe bag. You can store them in the freezer for up to two months. Does baked lemon curd need to be refrigerated? Yes, because lemon curd is made with butter and eggs. You need to refrigerate it when you’re not using it for making desserts or serving it to guests. What’s the difference between lemon curd and lemon pie filling? The difference is both in ingredients and usage. Lemon pie filling, as the name implies, is mostly used for pies. It also has cornstarch or flour as an ingredient and has a gelatinous appearance. Lemon curd, on the other hand, doesn’t have either cornstarch or flour and appears more creamy and thick. It can be used for pies, tarts, yogurts, scones, toasts, cake filling, ice cream topping, pancakes, waffles, cheesecake topping, lemon parfaits, and as a fruit dip.Nutrition
