Twelve Days of Cookies, Day 10

Lemon Squares

Lemon squares are always a good cookie to bring to a party -- and this Christmas Eve we had the annual gumbo gathering at CheChe and Charlie's, so I brought them.  They were from Rose's cookie book again -- the taste was good but the ratio of shortbread to lemon curd was off.  We needed more lemon curd and less shortbread.  I think next time I am going to try Cooks Illustrated's version.  There is another secret about these lemon squares, but I'm not telling what it is until tomorrow... !! :)
