Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare 1 cup of lemon curd by spooning dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
- Cream 8 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice, 1.5 teaspoons lemon extract, and 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest.
- Fold in dry ingredients until just combined. Divide the dough into 8 balls and wrap them around frozen lemon curd.
- Flatten the wrapped dough to 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 12-13 minutes until edges are golden.
- Cool cookies for 5 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and whisk with 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
- Glaze cooled cookies with the mixture and allow to set for 15-20 minutes.

Notes
