• Bake 15 to 20 minutes until edges are light golden brown (dough will puff up during baking). Transfer to cooling rack. Using bottom of shot glass or drinking glass, press cookie crust down to within 1/2 inch of edges. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour.
• In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin evenly over lemon juice. Let stand 1 minute, then stir gently over low heat 1 to 2 minutes until gelatin is dissolved. Whisk in buttermilk and honey. Set aside to cool slightly.

Pour and spread mixture evenly into cooled cookie crust. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until filling is set. Carefully remove tart from side of pan before serving.
