Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease two regular-sized (12 cup) muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
Shape each sugar cookie dough piece into a ball and place one in each muffin cup. Gently press the dough against the pan and up the sides to form a crust, ensuring the edges are slightly higher than the bottom to create an edge.
16 oz break and bake sugar cookies
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. After baking, use a utensil to gently deepen the centers of the crusts. Let cool completely in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Spoon lemon curd into each cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
12.7 oz lemon curd
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag with a star tip.
1 egg white, 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Pipe meringue onto each pie cookie. Preheat the broiler and broil for 15-30 seconds or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Make sure the cookie crust edges are slightly higher than the bottom for a defined edge.
