"Perfection doesn't exist"-the words of someone who has never made these cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar (save half for rolling)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp rose water (optional)
1/3 cup lemon curd
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream together butter, 1/3 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add in egg yolk and rose water and beat until combined.
Fold in dry ingredients with a spatula and mix until combined.
Scoop into rounded tablespoon balls and using the remaining 1/3 cup of white sugar, roll the cookie dough balls in the sugar.
Use the back of a teaspoon to make a well in each cookie.
Place shaped cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Fill each cookie well with 1 tsp lemon curd.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 mins, or until edges are slightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and set them on a baking rack for 10 minutes. Enjoy alone or with a cup of lemon tea!
