Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Whisk the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil in a big bowl for 2 minutes or until they are smooth and fully incorporated.

Put the powdered sugar in a small bowl.

Scoop the cookie batter using a 1½ Tablespoon cookie scoop and coat the cookie dough balls thoroughly with confectioner's sugar.

On the prepared cookie sheets, ensure that the coated cookie dough balls are spaced at a minimum of 3 inches apart.

Bake until lightly golden for 10-12 minutes.

Take a teaspoon measuring spoon and press it into the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Then, let them cool for 5 minutes.

Add approximately 1 teaspoon of lemon curd into every cookie well.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Dough Before Scooping 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the lemon curd from leaking during baking and ensure better cookie structure.
Use Quality Lemon Curd at Room Temperature 🍋
Allow your lemon curd to soften slightly before filling to make it easier to work with, and ensure it's not too warm or it will melt the cookie dough on contact.
Create a Seal Around the Curd Pocket 🤝
Pinch and fully seal the edges of the cookie dough around the lemon curd filling to prevent any leakage during baking and ensure a moist, surprise center.
Reduce Oil and Add Butter for Better Texture ✨
Substitute half the vegetable oil with melted butter to enhance the richness and create a more authentic buttery cookie flavor that complements the tangy lemon curd.
Don't Overbake for a Chewy Center 🎯
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are golden but the tops still appear slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the pan and maintain a tender, chewy texture.
