How To Make lemon pie cookies

• 1

  Lemon Curd: Stir together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir in zest, lemon juice, and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. (It will be quick.) Whisk half the lemon mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then add entire mixture back to the saucepan. Cook and stir until it comes to a gentle boil, then cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in butter until it melts. Transfer to a bowl and cover the top with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour. (Will last for 2 weeks in refrigerator.)
