Pardon the extended hiatus from my blog but I was enjoying a long overdue sabbatical for most of the summer. I missed my kitchen and baking to be sure, but I kept myself busy with traveling and relaxing...a perfect way to recharge. Now that I'm home I'm easing back into the swing of things.
First up are these Lemon Curd Gooey Butter Cookies, which I'd seen pop up on my Instagram feed from Butternut Bakery. I've made gooey butter cookies before on this blog, but I loved the idea of combining lemon curd with the chewy, citrus cookie. Propitiously I had all the ingredients I needed, including homemade meyer lemon curd, and the cookies came together easily. My only other enhancement was to add a few tablespoons of poppy seeds to the cookie dough.
One bite of the finished cookie and I was a goner; the perfect marriage of tart, sweet and chewy.
