Lemon Meringue Cookies

Lemon Meringue Cookie 🍋✨

This Lemon Meringue Cookie is a citrus lover’s dream, combining bright lemon flavor with a perfect balance of textures. Weighing in at a whopping 4 ounces (pre-stuffed), this oversized cookie is packed with bold, zesty goodness and a melt-in-your-mouth center.

The base is a soft, buttery lemon dough, made with fresh lemon zest and pure vanilla for a fragrant, citrus-infused bite. Creamy white chocolate chips are folded throughout, adding a smooth sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tangy lemon notes.

For an extra layer of texture and flavor, hand-crushed homemade meringues are blended into the dough, offering a delicate crispness that contrasts perfectly with the cookie’s chewy interior. Crushed graham crackers bring a light crunch and a subtle, honeyed warmth, while mini marshmallows melt into soft, pillowy pockets within the dough.

At the center of this indulgent cookie lies the ultimate surprise—a generous filling of homemade lemon curd. With its silky texture and vibrant citrus tang, the curd bursts through each bite, elevating the cookie with a refreshing pop of flavor.

Baked to golden perfection, the Lemon Meringue Cookie delivers a delightful combination of crisp edges, a chewy center, and a luscious lemon curd core. It’s the perfect treat for anyone who loves bright, tangy flavors with a hint of sweetness and a touch of crunch.
