Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake for your cookie cups.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
Form the Cups: Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom and sides of a muffin pan, forming small cups. Make sure the walls are thick enough to hold the filling.
Prepare the Lemon Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, zest, and baking powder until combined.
Fill the Cups: Pour the lemon filling into each cookie cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the filling is set and the tops are lightly golden. Cool them in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
