Ingredients

  • 1 roll (30 oz) refrigerated gingerbread cookie dough
  • 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 jar (10 oz) lemon curd or 1 cup lemon pie filling

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Cut cookie dough into 3 equal pieces. Work with 1 piece of dough at a time; refrigerate remaining dough until ready to use.
  • 2
    Place graham cracker crumbs in shallow dish. Shape each piece of dough into 20 (1 1/4-inch) balls; roll in crumbs to coat. On ungreased large cookie sheet, place balls 1 inch apart.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until almost set. Cool 2 minutes. With thumb or handle of wooden spoon, make slight indentation in center of each cookie. Remove cookies from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

    Place lemon curd in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe small dollop of lemon curd into indentation in each cookie. Store in refrigerator.

    Rich and tangy lemon curd, a thick sauce almost with the consistency of a pudding, can be found in the jams and preserves section of the supermarket.
