Lemon Curd Sandwich Cookies Recipe
My children also love these lovely little cookies with a buttercream filling, but today I used a Lemon Curd adapted from Epicurious. These can be rich, so keep them small

- Cookies:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups flour

- For lemon curd:
- Combine all ingredients except yolks in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.
- Continue whisking and simmer 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk about 1/4-1/2 cup hot lemon mixture into yolks to temper.
- Add yolk mixture to lemon mixture and, whisking constantly, simmer 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and put in a bowl.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface and chill till cold
