1 1⁄2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1 cup, scant, prepared lemon curd

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla. On low speed, beat in baking powder, then flour until incorporated. Cover and chill dough 1 hour. Place lemon curd into a small zip top food storage bag. Seal bag.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F. You will need baking sheets lined with
non stick foil, liners or parchment paper.
