All the bright, tangy magic of lemon meringue pie but remixed into a soft, buttery sugar cookie! 🍋 Welcome to episode 2 of my new series: The Sweet Remix. These cookies are tart, sweet, cloud‑soft, and completely irresistible. One bite and you’ll understand why they will never last long. Recipe by @The Butta Babe below: Ingredients: Lemon Curd - 2 whole eggs - 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 large lemons) - 8 tbsp unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup granulated sugar Soft Sugar Cookies - 2 ½ cups all‑purpose flour - 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar - 2 tsp baking powder - 1 whole egg - 1 egg yolk - 2 sticks salted butter, softened - 1 Tbsp vanilla extract or paste - 2 tsp almond extract -3/4 tsp salt Simple Sweet Meringue Buttercream - 3 cups powdered sugar - 1 tsp lemon zest - 3 oz liquid egg whites - ¼ tsp salt - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 tsp lemon extract - 1 ½ cups softened butter Instructions: 1. Make the Lemon Curd: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Slowly stream in the melted butter and whisk for 30 seconds. 2. Place a plate under the bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Remove, whisk for 30 seconds, and repeat this process four times. When the curd is thick and glossy, pour it into a jar, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set. 3. Make the Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Add liquid egg whites and powdered sugar to a stand mixer or large bowl. Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes until smooth. Scrape the edges periodically. 4. Add softened butter slowly, mixing until fully incorporated. Increase to medium‑high speed and whip for 10 minutes until fluffy and silky. Add lemon zest, vanilla, and lemon extract. Transfer to a piping bag. 5. Make the Soft Sugar Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F. 6. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix for 3 more minutes. 7. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until combined, then switch to a spatula and fold until a soft dough forms. 8. Roll dough into balls and place on a parchment‑lined baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Gently press each ball with the bottom of a glass, just slightly. Do not completely flatten. 9. Bake for 10–11 minutes, until the edges are barely golden. Remove them from the oven and immediately press the center of each cookie with a small glass to create a crater. 10. Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (about 20 minutes). 11. Spoon chilled lemon curd into the center of each cookie. Pipe a swirl of Swiss meringue buttercream on top. 12. Garnish with a tiny lemon wedge and a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy the softest, brightest, most irresistible lemon cookie ever. #lemoncurd #lemonmeringue #lemondesserts #lemoncookies #lemonrecipes
