Delightful Lemon Curd Linzer Cookies filled with tangy lemon curd and dusted with powdered sugar. A perfect treat for any occasion!

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. 1 tsp lemon zest. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup lemon curd. 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting.

Instructions: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal parts, flatten each into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a smaller decorative cookie cutter to cut out the centers of half of the cookies. Reroll any excess dough and continue cutting until all the dough is used. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a thin layer of lemon curd on the whole cookies without the centers. Dust the cookies with the centers with powdered sugar. Top each whole cookie with a cut-out cookie to create the sandwich. Store the Lemon Curd Linzer Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

There is nothing quite like the zest and tart taste of these delightful lemon cupcakes. They are perfect for any occasion and are sure to brighten your day with their citrusy flavor.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1/2 cup whole milk. 2 tbsp lemon zest. 2 tbsp lemon juice. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup sour cream.

Instructions: Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk. Put away. Put the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. One egg at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. The vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice should all be mixed in. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing them in with the milk every so often. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk. Don't mix any further than that. The batter should be smooth and well mixed after adding the sour cream. Fill up about two-thirds of the way to the top of each cupcake liner with batter. After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. After taking the cupcakes out of the oven, let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. After the cupcakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite lemon frosting or just eat them as they are. Add some more lemon zest on top to make it taste even tangier.
