    So Creamy and Easy: Lemon Curd Cookie Cups

    March 6, 2018 Filed Under: Desserts, Fruit

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    You can use store bought lemon curd or try our easy version here.

    If you need a beautiful but simple cookie with springtime colors, try these Lemon Curd Cookie Cups. I think they would be perfect for Valentine's Day, Easter or Mother's Day.

    You can use any flavor of citrus curd, though lemon is probably the best known. I made some gorgeous pinkish orange Blood Orange Curd and used it for half of the cookies. A pale pink grapefruit curd would be delicious too. Or maybe a nice pale green lime curd for St. Patrick's Day.
