EASY LEMON THUMBPRINT COOKIES
These buttery sugar cookies filled with sweet-tart lemon curd were inspired by our love of lemon, our appreciation for the classic thumbprint and the ever-present need for easy cookies. With all that in mind, the Betty Crocker™ Test Kitchens came up with this recipe full of time-saving hacks. It starts with an extra-citrusy dough made by adding lemon zest to Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix. The dough then gets rolled into balls, dipped in coarse sparking sugar and indented with the end of a wooden spoon, making a perfect divot for adding the lemon curd. From dough to oven, this recipe takes 25 minutes, so it's easy enough to prep while dinner's in the oven. When it's time to fill your cookies, a pastry bag fashioned from a resealable plastic bag and store-bought lemon curd makes it extra efficient. Before you know it, you'll have 50 bright and beautiful cookies perfect for just about any occasion.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, ginger and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat on medium speed for almost 2 minutes until creamy with a hand-held mixer or with paddle attachment if using a stand mixer. Add the egg and mix well. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula during these steps when needed to be sure they are all mixed.
- Add the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Don't overmix the dough.
- Take 25 gram pieces ( almost 1 tablespoon) of the dough and roll them into balls. Alternatively, you can divide the dough equally into 22 pieces and roll them into balls as this recipe makes 22 cookies. Using the back of a 1 teaspoon-sized rounded measuring spoon or your finger, press into the center of the dough to make an indentation.****
- Bake for almost 11-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Don't overbake so the cookies will stay soft. When the edges are golden brown but the middle is still soft, remove from the oven. If needed, you can press the middle of the cookie again with a clean measuring spoon. Then immediately fill the cookies with almost ½ and ¼ teaspoon lemon curd. The filling will set while the cookies are cooling on the baking sheet.
- Lightly sift powdered sugar over the cooled cookies.
