If you’re someone who loves the taste of fresh and zesty flavors, then you’re going to absolutely love these gluten-free lemon curd cookies. Lemon curd, on its own, is a traditional English spread. It has a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that makes it perfect for spreading on toast or using as a filling for cakes and pastries.

  • Prep time: 18 minutes
  • Cook time: 22 minutes
  • Total time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 225 g gluten-free flour, (e.g. Schär Mix C Pâtisserie)

  • 125 g sugar
  • 100 g lemon curd, purchased or homemade
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • 1)

    Cut the butter into cubes and put it in the bowl with the gluten-free flour, sugar, an egg and a pinch of salt. Knead shortly into a smooth dough.

  • 5)

    Remove the dough from the refrigerator and form 24 balls – about 22 to 25 grams each – and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. Using your thumb or a spoon, press a dimple into the dough. Scoop 1 teaspoon lemon curd* into the dimple.

  • 6)

    Bake the lemon curd cookies in the oven for approx. 20 – 22 minutes.

  • 7)

    Allow the cookies to cool completely and sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
