Pipe 1-in. circles 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Pipe 1 or 2 circles over the edge of the base, forming sides., Bake at 300° for 25 minutes or until set and dry. Turn oven off; leave meringues in oven for 1 hour., Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and zest until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled., Just before serving, spoon lemon curd into the center of cookies. Refrigerate leftovers.
