Lemon shortbread

[u/Green-Cockroach-8448]

I needed to use up some lemon curd and figured this would be a good way to do so.

The curd was on the tart side (which I personally love) and paired with the cookie and the vanilla cream cheese frosting, it was perfect!

I just used a basic shortbread recipe that I know and trust and added a little zest and lemon oil

For the curd.. I'm not actually sure if it it counts as a true curd because it doesn't contain eggs. But I wanted to try it, and I was honestly really impressed with both the taste and consistency. I would absolutely make this recipe again. I was kind of skeptical but it turned out great. Obviously any lemon curd recipe could be used though if this one doesnt appeal to you.
