Thank you for your blog!
I made the cookies and they were amazing! I don't normally care much for coconut but they were very buttery, melted in your mouth, with subtle coconut flavor.
The dough was too sticky to roll even after chilling. So, I made 1 tsp balls with a cookie scoop, flattened them and froze for 30 min, then baked.
The curd was too thin: it could have been small egg yolks (I used 5 however). Maybe putting egg yolks weight would be helpful. But I turned the curd into grapefruit butter cream by adding 1 stick of whipped butter.
Thanks again! This recipe is a keeper!

Sorry for all the questions - How long will these cookies keep with the curd in them? Do they get soggy is made ahead of time? Do they need to be stored in the refrigerator?

Yay! I'm so excited for you to try the recipe! And even if you only make the cookie part, it is totally worth it. They are buttery-coconut-delicious 😉

Thanks, Sean! I exercise about 6 hours a week (ugh), and I also try to give away as much as possible because I've noticed over the years, I tend to hit the cookies a little harder 😉

Absolutely! Hehe! If it weren't for that project, I would have never known how bad store-bought lemon curd is!

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that store-bought curd is awful. And plus, Martha Stewart even has recipes where all the ingredients of the curd are combined in the saucepan at the beginning, so no tempering, just careful whisking. It's THAT easy!

I made lemon curd for the first time a year or so ago, and now I can't get enough. It's just the sunniest, most spectacular little splash of sweetness. These look amazing. Seriously, how do you control your portions with all this incredible baking?
