Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup lemon curd
1 cup blueberries
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually combine with the butter mixture until just mixed.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls on the baking sheet, making indentations for lemon curd filling.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Prepare blueberry icing by cooking blueberries over medium heat until juices release; strain solids. Mix juice with powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Once cooled, spread blueberry icing over each cookie.
