LEMON BASIL CURD BUTTER COOKIES FROM THE COOKIE BOOK
Reprinted with permission from The Cookie Book by Rebecca Firth, Page Street Publishing Co. 2018. Photo credit: Rebecca Firth. "Sweet baby Jesus where have these been all my life? These are bright and lemony with the infusion of fresh basil transforming them to sublime. Maybe even otherworldly. I chose a large cut-out for the top cookie to highlight the vibrancy of the curd. These will quickly become a favorite. Promise." -- Rebecca Firth

Steps:
- To make the curd, place the granulated sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade and pulse several times to combine. Add in the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolk and lemon juice and run the machine for 30 to 60 seconds or until combined. Add in the flour and run the machine for 30 seconds more.
- Strain the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the basil and butter and stir constantly for 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened. Strain once again if the mixture developed any lumps and immediately place in a small, heat-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap, directly on the surface of the curd. Place in the fridge to chill completely.
- To make the cookies, if your butter isn't super soft, heat it in the microwave on high for 5 to 10 seconds. In an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle, add the butter, powdered sugar and lemon zest and run the machine on medium for 4 minutes or until smooth. With the machine on low, add in the egg, egg yolk, milk, vanilla and salt and run the machine on low for several minutes more. Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl so that everything is incorporated. The mixture may look curdled. Dump in the flour and run the machine on the lowest setting until the dough comes together.
- Place a silicone baking mat on the counter and then place a piece of parchment paper on top, lightly flouring it. Set the dough on top and sprinkle with a bit more flour. Rub some flour over your rolling pin and roll the dough to 1/4-inch (0.7-cm) thickness. Use the parchment paper to transfer it onto a baking sheet and chill in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Grab a 1 3/4-inch (4.5-cm) round cookie cutter and a 1 1/4-inch (3.3-cm) round cookie cutter. Cut as many 1 3/4-inch (4.5-cm) circles out of the dough as you can. Re-roll the scraps and cut as many from that dough. Use the 1 1/4-inch (3.3-cm) cutter to cut smaller circles out of half of the 1 3/4-inch (4.5-cm) circles. Place all of the cookies, including the small circles from the cut-out cookies, on the prepared baking sheets with 1 1/2 inches (3.7 cm) between each cookie, and freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the oven for 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet. To assemble, for the larger cookies, smear some curd on the solid circle and top with an 'O' shaped cookie. For the smaller cookies, smear some curd on one cookie and top with a same-sized cookie.

LEMON RICOTTA BASIL COOKIES
If you love lemon and basil, you'll love these cookies. The ricotta keeps them nice and moist. Adapted and tweaked from a Giada de Laurentiis recipe. She didn't use basil, but I thought they screamed for it! Depending on your cookie scoop or spoon size, you can expect to get about 36-40 cookies out of this. This cookie is more cake-like and is not a crisp cookie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Cookies:.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine sugar and roughly minced basil in food processor. Process/pulse until basil is thoroughly incorporated with sugar.
- Using an electric mixer beat the butter with the basil sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients. Chill dough for 1 hour.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop cold dough (about 2 tablespoons, more or less) and roll into ball and flatten lightly with bottom of a glass. If sticking occurs, dip bottom of glass in water then granulated sugar then proceed.
- IF USING HAZELNUT SUGAR/LEMON TOPPING: Make as described below, then continue to bake for 12-15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Using optional topping, you will omit the glaze.

- Make the cookie dough: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, with a mixer, cream the softened butter well. Add the sugar and cream well. Add the egg, mixing until just combined. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and basil next, and mix until just combined. You can add a handful or two of the chopped pistachio nuts here to the dough for extra OOMPH (I like to do this). Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing between each. Form the dough into a slightly flattened disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for an hour, or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Make the topping: While the dough is chilling, prepare the topping and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Shell and chop your pistachios - you can chop them with a knife or throw them in a food processor and pulse until you have small chunks - don't pulse them into a powder. Mix the pistachios & sugar in a small bowl.
- Bake: Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 tbsp each). Roll each ball in the sugar/pistachio mixture and place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on pan before moving to a cooling rack.
- Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately! Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-6 days. Make ahead: Cookie dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for 1 day before baking. Dough can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Move to the fridge the day before you plan to bake the cookies so the dough can soften a bit, but still stays chilled.
