## Ingredients

- 230 g butter, softened, cut into small pieces
- 120 g sugar
- 2 × lemon zest, zested from lemons
- 1 × egg yolk
- 30 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 300 g flour
- 120 g powdered sugar, for the glaze
- 30 ml lemon juice, for the glaze
- 150 g lemon curd, for filling

## Method

1. **Make the lemon sugar** Rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips until fragrant and moist. Add the softened butter and work it into the lemon sugar.
2. **Make the dough** Add the egg yolk and lemon juice and mix to combine. Add the flour and mix until a soft, buttery dough forms, even if it looks dry at first.
3. **Roll out the dough** Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top while rolling to keep it smooth and prevent sticking.
4. **Cut the cookies** Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter. Cut a smaller shape out of the centre of half of the rounds to make the tops.
5. **Bake the cookies** Place the cookies on a baking tray. Bake until lightly golden at the edges.
6. **Make the lemon glaze** Whisk the powdered sugar with the lemon juice. Adjust the consistency until thick but pourable, then glaze the cookie tops.
7. **Assemble the cookies** Spread lemon curd on the whole cookies. Top with the glazed cut-out cookies.
