Resting Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 33 minutes
Servings 44 cookie cups

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp lemon flavor or 1/8 tsp lemon oil
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 Container Joe's lemon curd

Instructions

  • Cream together powdered sugar and butter until fully combined.
  • Add egg, vanilla, lemon flavor, and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing with paddle attachment until fully incorporated.
  • Roll 1 into Tbsp-sized balls. Layer your cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag or Tupperware container. Refrigerate for 2-20 hours.
  • Spray non-stick spray in mini muffin tins.
  • Add one dough ball to each individual tin.
  • Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes. If using store bought cookie dough, it will be closer to 11-13 minutes.
  • Once removed from the oven, immediately press down with your tamper set or with a Tbsp measuring spoon to form the cup.
  • Allow to cool and then carefully remove sugar cookie cups, using a thin knife if necessary.
  • Whisk together sour cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Spoon one teaspoon of the sour cream mixture into the sugar cookie cups.
  • On top of the sour cream mixture add about 1 Tablespoon lemon curd. I like to squeeze mine out of a pastry bag.
  • Dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving.
  • Note: Homemade cookie dough can be replaced with store bought cookie dough. Reversely, store bought lemon curd can be replaced with homemade lemon curd.

Notes

Note: Store-bought cookie dough and store-bought lemon curd will greatly reduce your time and effort. You can roll and use the dough straight from the refrigerated package.
