Life has been particularly stressful recently with freezing weather, wildfires that have burned up total communities, and the everyday trials of getting through winter days. I live in Los Angeles and have been making this luscious lemon raspberry shortbread to cheer up those that are hurting.
This layered cookie has a buttery shortbread bottom that supports the tangy lemon filling, and I have changed up the classic recipe with a raspberry layer tucked between the crisp cookie crust and the lemon topping. A plate full of these sunny bars would be as at home at an afternoon tea as they would at a tailgate party.
