Ingredients:

For the curd:

Directions:

For the curd: In the bowl of a double boiler placed over simmering water, whisk together the egg, yolk, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to whisk constantly until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (approximately 165 degrees F), about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl. Whisk in butter until melted and smooth. Stir in poppy seeds. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing onto the surface of the curd (prevents a skin from forming) and refrigerate until set and chilled, at least 2 hours.

For the cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Add flour and salt and mix until incorporated and dough comes together in a ball.

Form dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with thumb or back of a spoon, leaving an indentation in the center of each cookie.

Bake for 10 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven. If indentations look shallow, further indent with the back of a spoon. Fill each indentation with ½ teaspoon or curd. Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until curd is set and edges of cookies are lightly golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
