Instructions

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. With a mixer, beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until well combined. Beat in yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.

4. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Make a deep indentation in center of each ball. Bake cookies until firm and lightly golden on bottom, about 18 to 20 minutes.
5. Remove cookies from oven and immediately fill indentations with curd.
