  6. Set aside ⅓ of the mixture and press the remaining ⅔ into the base of the baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Let the base cool for 10 minutes, then spread the lemon curd evenly over the top.
  9. Crumble and scatter the reserved cookie dough mixture over the lemon curd.
  10. Bake for another 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  11. Cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra zing, add lemon zest to the crust mixture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a week.
