For the best flavor, use high-quality lemon curd. Homemade is wonderful, but a good store-bought version will also work. Don't overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix until just combined. If the dough is too soft to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
