In food processor, pulse Marias Gamesa® Cookies until finely ground. Add sugar and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture is an evenly coated crumb. Press into bottom and sides of greased 9-inch tart pan.

Raspberry Curd Filling: In large bowl, toss together 3 cups raspberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and lemon juice; let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer to blender and purée until smooth. Pass mixture through fine-mesh sieve into medium bowl (makes about 1 1/2 cups; discard solids). Whisk in cornstarch until blended and transfer to medium saucepan.

In another medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks and remaining granulated sugar until pale and thickened. Whisk eggs mixture into raspberry purée in saucepan until combined. Stir in lemon zest.
