# Instructions:
01 -
Scoop out 8 tablespoons of lemon curd and place on a parchment or plastic-lined baking sheet. Gently spread each portion to about 1/4 inch thickness. Freeze for 1-2 hours or until solid.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
03 -
Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest, mixing until combined.
04 -
Fold in the flour, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds until the flour mixture is fully incorporated.
05 -
Scoop out portions of cookie dough and flatten between your palms. Place 1 tablespoon of frozen lemon curd in the center of each flattened dough. Gently fold the cookie dough over the curd, roll between your palms, and flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness.
06 -
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. The cookies may look slightly underbaked but will continue to cook as they cool.
07 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and lemon zest, stirring constantly until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and mix in the poppy seeds.

Brush the glaze over the completely cooled lemon cookies. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
# Notes:

Homemade lemon curd is recommended as store-bought varieties may not freeze properly

Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days
03 -
