Lemon Thumbprint Cookies are a holiday staple! These are sweet and tart, with a melty texture. Some of my favorites!
COOKIE PEOPLE!! We are officially on Day FIVE of the TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COOKIES! Are you into it?? I’m geared up for the week because we have some SOLID cookie recipes. If you missed the first few days, scroll down to the bottom of this post to catch up!
These little beauties might seem standard… but I’m telling you, they are perfect in their simplicity! I love me a lemon cookie, and paired with lemon curd or strawberry preserves in these thumbprints, makes my heart happy. The granulated sugar on the outside of the cookie gives it a slight crunch, while the inside is smooth and melty. I’m a fan.
Also because I know some of you will ask, no…there are no eggs in these cookies. They’re a lot like a shortbread base, which is basically my favorite. Plus, yay for egg allergy people!
The dough comes together super quickly, and then you roll them into balls, then into granulated sugar for some extra crunch and sparkle…THEN pick your favorite preserves, curd, or jam and get to filling!
I am a huge fan of strawberry preserves in these cookie or lemon curd if you wanna go big on the lemon!
Bake them and bask in their beauty…
And of course I recommend a healthy drizzle of icing. Or you can use white chocolate. You’re call!
