Those buttery cookies, which are rolled in poppy seeds and filled with homemade lemon curd or with your favourite jam., are perfect for the holidays. You can replace poppy seeds with finely chopped nuts or coconut shreds. Thoroughly delicious and a welcome addition to any cookie tray.

- Whisk the eggs and sugar in a saucepan until smooth, then place pan over a low heat. Add the butter, lemon juice and zest and whisk continuously until thickened. Strain through a sieve into a sterilised jar. Lemon curd keeps, covered, in the fridge for 2 weeks.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and lemon zest. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy with a hand mixer. Add egg yolk and lemon extract. Beat until combined. Sift the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and lightly roll it in poppy seeds. Place on the prepared baking tray and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/2 teaspoon of lemon curd into each indentation. Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

The cookies are absolutely stunning!
Wow looks too good...and classic clicks
I’m a huge fan of lemon curd but have never had it in a cookie. What a great idea! Also love the suggestion of coconut, it would look very pretty on the cookies.
Okay - it's official. You are now the coolest person on the planet! I've never heard of putting lemon curd in thumb print cookies...just jam and I always thought they were just a tiny bit too sweet. This solves the dilemma nicely! Thank you very much!
Wow, lovely idea of using lemon curd for filling. Wonderful clicks Angie. You rock.

Given how much I ADORE the lemon poppyseed combination...these totally have to happen.
You took unique elements and blended them to make an extra-special cookie.
If they taste half as good as they look...count me in for a couple dozen, please :)
Right away I thought - this sounds holiday-delicious. But then you added the lemon curd and I grew weak. Wonderful, Angie!

Lemons, my favorite ingredient of all time. If you have a store, I would order a dozen of these double lemon cookies.
I never turn away from lemon based treats.
The suggestions of possibly replacing poppy seeds with coconut is perfect for me ;o)
Thanks Angie and have a great week.
Ciao,

Hi Angie :) Thanks for checking out my new blog. I LOVE thumbprint cookies but yours are a notch above every other I have seen so far - so very pretty and the way you've styled the shots is just breathtaking!
i wish i cld make these cookies as beautiful as you did! i'm actually afraid of putting jam on to the cookies. I had bad experience before that the jam was spilled out during baking :(
This sounded so irresistible, Angie. Love lemon curd in anything. Yummmm....
Kristy
