Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 0.75 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Gradually add 2.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into the muffin tin cups, shaping them to form small tart shells with a well in the center.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 3 large eggs, 0.75 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the lemon filling evenly into the prepared cookie shells.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the cookie shells are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the tarts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Dust the tops with 0.25 cup of powdered sugar before serving.
