EASY LEMON THUMBPRINT COOKIES
These buttery sugar cookies filled with sweet-tart lemon curd were inspired by our love of lemon, our appreciation for the classic thumbprint and the ever-present need for easy cookies. With all that in mind, the Betty Crocker™ Test Kitchens came up with this recipe full of time-saving hacks. It starts with an extra-citrusy dough made by adding lemon zest to Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix. The dough then gets rolled into balls, dipped in coarse sparking sugar and indented with the end of a wooden spoon, making a perfect divot for adding the lemon curd. From dough to oven, this recipe takes 25 minutes, so it's easy enough to prep while dinner's in the oven. When it's time to fill your cookies, a pastry bag fashioned from a resealable plastic bag and store-bought lemon curd makes it extra efficient. Before you know it, you'll have 50 bright and beautiful cookies perfect for just about any occasion.

Steps:
- For the shortcrust pastry, sift the flour and icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it is incorporated and then mix in egg yolks. Knead everything into a compact smooth dough. Wrap the dough and chill it for 1 hour.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a long roll and divide it into 60 equal portions. Form a small ball from each portion and place it on a baking sheet covered with baking parchment (you will need two or more sheets). Press a dip (for the jam) into each ball with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the jelly or jam in a saucepan until it melts. Use a teaspoon to fill the dips in the dough balls.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, then allow to cool completely. Finally, dust the cookies with some icing sugar. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several weeks.
