The amount of zest and juice gives a wonderful lemon flavor. The crust is amazing; the powdered sugar in it was unexpected, but the shortbread flavor and texture was exceptional. I messed up the look of the finished product by overmixing, but it tasted great.
This was the best lemon bar recipe I’ve ever had! I substituted lemon extract for lemon zest and used mostly all purpose flour with a little whole wheat flour and it turned out amazing. The lemon flavor was strong in a good way. I would totally recommend making this!
Very easy to make. Makes a nice treat that seems fancy but is very simple. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with zesting but my lemon didn’t provide 2 tsp of zest but that’s ok. The rubbing of the zest into the sugar seems to have spread the essence around enough that there is enough lemon flavor for me. Sometimes I think lemon bars are too tart but these are perfect
I have never made lemon bars before. I found this to be an easy to follow recipe and it turned out so delicious! It was sweet and tart with a shortbread like crust that I could have eaten alone. Thanks for another great recipe!
OMG, I love lemon bars, these were absolutely better than what I normally make. I think the whole wheat flour makes a difference.. They are so sweet and refreshing hard to eat just one. I will be making these again and again.
Thank you!!
I’m not a huge lemon fan when it comes to desserts but this was terrific! So smooth and fresh. It just melts in my mouth! I will be making this again and influencing my clients to make and try this as well! This was also super easy to make.
This recipe is so straightforward and delicious! A classic lemon bar. They didn’t look how I expected coming out of the oven but after they cooled they were perfect. A crowd pleaser with minimal effort and ingredients required :) oh, and I used all AP flour because I didn’t have whole wheat pastry flour on hand. Worked out great.
I made this dessert over the weekend. It was delicious 😋 We shared it with neighbors. Easy to make. I loved the crust. I served it with whipped cream, and decorated it with lemon 🍋 wedge and edible flowers from my garden. I posted it on my Instagram too @agi1971. This dessert is a keeper.
I made these today and they are so good! I probably should have baked them a few minutes longer as they are quite soft, but the creamy filling with the shortbread crust is a winning combination! I will definitely make them again!

So glad you enjoyed it, Maddie!
Easy and so delicious. The extra lemon was outstanding with the shortbread crust. This one will be on repeat!
