Lemon curd sugar cookie sandwiches!

It's going up to 98 tomorrow--so they say. Gross. I baked today as tomorrow I think I'll be enjoying ice cold gin and tonic and doing nothing all evening.

Sugar cookies always make me happy; there is something about the salty sweet combination and the complete simplicity of the little wafers that just works. However, sometimes you want a little more; lemon curd filling came to mind (thanks to Jenny for making lemon bars this past weekend). And of course defunct Gourmet once again comes through with a simple recipe that produces outstanding results. (recipe: Petite Lemon Curd Cookies)


The result, delicious! A few comments: watch the temperature on the curd or you'll cook your eggs and I don't know anyone that likes egg chunks in their curd. And, don't let these cookies brown; Eight minutes is enough to cook them and if you let them brown they will be crunchy and not be as delightful in the final cookie sandwich. I also made my cookies a little bigger than suggested as I'm a piggy and those little ones were just not enough. Other than that, just enjoy the sweet tart treats and share them with friends. Enjoy!
