Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the lemon curd a day in advance. In a saucepan, combine fresh lemon juice, sugar, and eggs over medium heat, stirring constantly for 10-12 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted, and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then gradually add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to form a dough.
  3. Shape the cookie dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for about 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness, cut out flower shapes, and make centers in half the cookies.
  5. Transfer cookies to baking sheets, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
  6. Dust cooled cookies with icing sugar. Pipe or spoon lemon curd onto half the cookies and sandwich them with the other halves.
