These are good, but I will keep looking. The bottom layer crust reminds me too much of shortbread. I am looking for something that tastes like the lemon bars I had in the past with a lighter crust. TIP: If you make them ahead, say to bring to a party, do not dust with powdered sugar until the last minute or the sugar may dissolve into the lemon, especially if there is a temperature change.

Hi, I am Sybille from Berlin, Germany, and I just had to try these. They truly are delicious. I use less sugar and love them. Regards to Annemarie :-)

Delicious!!! I did a couple of things differently because I LOOOOOVE lemon and wanted to make the most of the lemons I was using. * I infused the sugar with the zest of the lemon by rubbing the zest and sugar together with my fingers. I did this in the crust AND in the filling. Fabulously lemon-y! * I also pressed the crust into a 8x11 dish to get more bars. * I did 1 1/2 of the filling recipe and it was great!

These are GREAT! They didn't have enough of a lemon flavor though, but I think adding a bit of extra lemon juice might help that. Aside from that these are so awesome!

For taste I give this recipe a 5 star. For directions I give it a 4 only because there is not enough filling. I changed the filling to 1.5 and it was perfect.

Wonderful lemon bars. I took the advice of a few others and added lemon zest and more lemon juice. LOVED THEM! I have never made lemon bars before (from scratch)and found this recipe simple and quick to make. Thanks for sharing.

very yummy (and not too sweet)lemon bars and really easy to make. who knew lemon filling from scratch would be so easy! My only word of caution is to watch everything closely, in my oven the bottom took barely 10 minutes (burnt the first one) and the top about the same.

These were GREAT! Everyone loved em at our cookout/party/gathering. I did increase the amount of filling by half after reading some reviews saying the filling to crust ratio wasn't right. Seemed to come out perfect!

These were very good; I LOVED the crust! The filling was great, but could have used a little more tartness. I also doubled the filling.

These are so incredibly easy and yummy. We tested our new toaster/convection oven with these and are on our second batch. I do double the lemon mixture and add a tsp of vanilla to the lemon mixture. The crust is better than box lemon bar crust. I am taking the crust recipe and try with a pecan pie recipe to make a pecan bar recipe. This was the greatest I'm sorry gift. My hubby loves me again. Thank you for something so tasty and easy.

Not enough lemon in these lemon bars. I found these to be too buttery and they made me feel a bit sick. Would not use again.

I don't think I've ever given a recipe 1 star but I did not care for these at all! I added some extra lemon juice like a reviewer suggested but it didn't help. This came out very dense and bland, almost like a weird cookie - it wasn't my idea of a lemon bar. Way too much crust.
