Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
Zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup lemon curd
1/3 cup raspberry jam
Fresh raspberries for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until soft dough forms.
Roll dough into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make small indentations in the center. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
Spoon a small layer of lemon curd into each indentation. Add a dab of raspberry jam and top with a fresh raspberry.
Notes
Chill dough for 15 minutes before baking for a neater shape.
Use homemade lemon curd for the freshest flavor.
Store chilled for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
