Instructions
1
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until no lumps remain.
2
|
In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter.
3
|
Whisk in the sugar mixture, then the lemon juice and egg yolks until fully combined, about 1 minute.
4
|
Use a rubber spatula to constantly stir the mixture for another 2-3 minutes or until large bubbles form in the center. Immediately remove from heat.
5
|
Strain the lemon curd into a bowl. Press plastic wrap up against the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
7
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
8
|
Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
9
|
Lastly, add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
10
|
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
11
|
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
12
|
Once the dough has chilled, use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough.
13
|
Roll each cookie dough ball in your hands, then roll in the powdered sugar and place on the baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.
14
|
Flatten the cookie dough out slightly and bake for about 12 minutes.
15
|
Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately press the centers with the back of a 1 tablespoon spoon.
16
|
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
17
|
Once the cookies are cool, sprinkle each of them with powdered sugar.
18
|
Add a dollop of lemon curd to the centers of each cookie and serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough for Perfect Shape 🧊Refrigerate the cream cheese cookie dough for at least 2 hours before scooping to prevent spreading and maintain defined cookie edges that hold the lemon curd filling beautifully.
- Make Lemon Curd a Day Ahead 🍋Prepare the lemon curd the day before assembly so it fully sets and cools, making it easier to fill cookies without the curd running or the cookies breaking apart.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Essential 🌡️Use room temperature cream cheese, butter, and eggs to ensure smooth, evenly mixed dough that creates tender, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with superior texture.
- Cream Cheese Prevents Over-Mixing 🥄Mix the cream cheese dough just until combined to avoid developing gluten, which would make cookies tough instead of delicate and buttery like they should be.
- Temper Eggs for Silky Lemon Curd 🥚Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot lemon mixture into your egg yolks before combining to prevent scrambling and achieve a smooth, luxurious curd consistency.
