Lemon Sugar Cookie Cups Recipe
Stacey Mebs | Bake.Eat.Repeat.These lemon sugar cookie cups are like mini lemon pies with a sugar cookie crust - easy to make, they're the perfect little sweet treat! Your own little pocket of sunshine.
Have you ever made lemon curd before? I have to admit that I never had, except for the kind that you make for a lemon meringue pie I suppose, although it's a little different.
But I recently discovered how easy it is to make homemade lemon curd - both on the stovetop and in the Instant Pot - and now I'm wondering why on earth I've taken so long to start making it.
My freezer is currently filled with jars of homemade lemon curd, so I'm using it in everything I can think of.
These lemon sugar cookie cups are one of our favourite ways to enjoy it so far. They're like mini lemon tarts with sugar cookie crusts - so tasty and so easy to make.
We all loved these little lemon sugar cookie cups.
These are made with homemade Swig sugar cookie dough, baked in a mini muffin tin so the cookies are cup shaped, and then filled with this easy homemade lemon curd.
Seriously so good.
But then, I love any kind of lemon treat. It's just such a fresh and bright flavour, that it's hard to find a lemon recipe that I don't like.
Although I don't think that I'm alone on that!
Desserts like these raspberry lemon blondies, or these lemon blueberry no bake cheesecakes.
Or breakfast-y things like these glazed lemon cranberry muffins, or glazed raspberry lemon bread. (I might have a thing for lemon and berries together!)
Or even entrees like this honey lemon baked salmon or this lemon chicken and rice soup.
All delicious. Lemon things are amazing.
And these lemon sugar cookie cups are no exception. A tasty sugar cookie filled with a tart and sweet lemon curd - pretty sure they need to be made again soon!
