Lemon Bar Cookie Cups

Lemon Bar Cookie Cups are delightful treats that combine tangy lemon curd with soft, buttery cookie cups.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and mix well until fully combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed butter until well combined.
  5. Roll the dough into small balls and place them in a mini muffin tin, pressing down to form cups.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing. You can add lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor. Avoid overbaking; they should be lightly golden.
