<p>Butter Cookies with Lemon Curd Filling are just too stinking cute…my photography doesn’t do them justice. These cuties are not just cute, they also happen to be very tasty!</p>



<p>I love the retro look of these cookies and they are perfect for spring/summer parties or bridal/baby showers!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tips-for-making-butter-cookies">Tips for making butter cookies</h2>



<p>If you are looking for a shortcut for this recipe then, use ready-made lemon curd. Sometimes the store bought options are way too tart and leave your mouth feeling weird. I found a brand that is <a href="https://fave.co/2HJtLDJ">linked here</a> that tastes amazing. It tastes like the best lemon meringue pie! Of course, if you would like to make your own <a href="https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/53683/perfect-lemon-curd/">this recipe</a> is delicious.</p>



<p>Working with raw butter cookie dough requires a gentle touch. This dough just can’t be manhandled into submission because that will get you nowhere! Although it feels like you may need a huge amount of flour to roll out the dough, it really only takes a dusting. Just add a dusting of flour as you need it. After cutting the shapes use a small metal spatula to slide under each cookie which helps to transfer them in one piece. This is only needed if the dough sticks to the parchment paper. Chilling the dough is the key to success! I usually leave the dough in the fridge overnight mostly for convenience. It really just needs to be chilled through which shouldn’t take more than 2 hours. If it seems rock hard straight out of the fridge then lay it out for 15 minutes or so until it’s manageable.</p>



<p>Good quality butter is key for any butter cookie recipe. Low-quality butter usually will not have enough fat content which results in a cookie that spreads all over the pan. When you put the cookies into the oven they look perfect. And these should look the same when they come out of the oven except, with slightly browned edges.</p>



<p>When mixing the dough go ahead and whip the butter and sugar for a couple of minutes. It should be light in color and very light. The rest of the ingredients should be mixed in just until incorporated for that melt in your mouth texture!</p>
