I absolutely love lemon curd (here is my version). I whipped up a batch as it is packed with healthy fats (butter and eggs) and I don’t worry so much when I use coconut sugar to flavour it- we like it tart anyway. It is a great way to really treat the kids.
We also love making these coconut cookies– so when my daughter asked me to make them again I thought of combining the two. The result is really delicious! Lemon and ginger of course being a match in heaven- and great for the immune system as the change of season is upon us.
Coconut and Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies

I twist on my coconut ginger cookies- adding a dollop of my freshly made lemon curd. Light, delicious and good for the immune system! Full of healthy fats. Really easy recipe to make with the kids
Ingredients
- 12 tbsp Coconut flour
- 10 tbsp Butter (soft- I use organic)
- 2 tbs of Honeycomb honey
- 1-2 tsp ginger powder or grated ginger root
- 1 drop of lemon essential oil or a splash of lemon juice
- about 1/4 tsp Lemon Curd for each cookie
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200 c
- Add all of the ingredients (except the lemon curd) to a mixer
- Use the k beater to beat the ingredients together to form a soft dough
- Ball up the dough and place on baking sheets that have been greased or have baking paper
- Get your trusty assistant (or yourself!)to push their thumb in the middle to create the cookie with a space for the lemon curd when they are cooked.
- Cook for 8-10 mins or until turning brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking tray otherwise they will crumble apart
- When they are completely cool- add a dollop of Lemon Curd just before serving.
- Enjoy
Notes
- Be careful they burn quickly- I keep going in 30 second bursts on the timer
- I keep mine in the fridge without the Lemon Curd otherwise they go soggy.
