How to make it

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Bake the cookies

    Place the cookies on a baking tray.

    Bake until lightly golden at the edges.

  6. 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. 7

    Assemble the cookies

    Spread lemon curd on the whole cookies.

    Top with the glazed cut-out cookies.
