Cookie Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, salt, and almond extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, mixing gently until just combined.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, shape into a disk, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and coat in granulated sugar.
- Make a deep indent in each ball with your thumb to create space for the lemon curd.
- Fill each indent with about a teaspoon of lemon curd, ensuring it doesn't overflow.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
