I'm pretty sure lemon curd doesn't exist in Norway. However, if by some miracle Odin had bestowed upon the snow beaten north the gift of citrus, the vikings would have probably made these. Buried beneath the mountains of frost...are cookies!
Butter Cookies:
2 sticks unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups flour
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add, and stir until well combined: egg, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Stir in flour with a mighty sense of loathing, and chill dough for a few hours.
Preheat oven to 325-350 degrees.
Roll out dough and cut into small circles. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Sandwich with lemon curd and devour.
These are best enjoyed while basking in the self-righteousness of your own obscurity.

did you use store bought lemon curd or do you have a recipe for it? I was wondering how difficult it was to prepare lemon curd from scratch. btw these are so simplistically brutal, with the little crescent moons and such. <3
I like to use lemon curd from scratch, the recipe is brutally easy(you've seen me make it, remember the tart we made?). I'll try to post that soon.
These are definately the treat for me. With a name like "Wintermoon Lemon Curd Cookies" they sound just right to pair up with some powermetal. Hail Helloween!
I'm quite positive lemon curd is on the shelves in Norwegian foodstores.
