1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder

Lemon Curd Filling:
6 Tablespoons butter, softened

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until combined.
Form 1″ balls of dough and place in the muffin tin. Bake 8-10 minutes until golden.
