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.

I used the zezt of 2 lemons in the filling to make the lemon flavor really stand out. Also helps if you want them to be a little less sweet.

Well, I thought they were pretty good-except they were a bit too dry. I think a tablespoon more lemon juice would be good, maybe even a bit more. They were very easy to make. I did add a little bit of vanilla. Very good! Would make these again (with my changes)

This one is great, because it doesn't require powdered sugar! I added the zest of the 2 lemons that I used, put half in the crust, half in the filling, and also added 1 tsp. vanilla to the crust. Oh, and a dash of salt to both crust and filling. Doubled the recipe and used a 12x9 pan. Really, really yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe is a great base recipe for lemon squares! I had never made them before this, but I've eaten a lot, and the version I came up with was my favorite!! For the curd, I changed it to 3 eggs, 1 cup of white sugar , 3 tbsp of flour, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, 6 tbsp of lemon juice and I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon. All in all, I could have used a little less of the crust (in an 8.4 x 8.4 glass cooking dish, cause I don't have a square pan), but everything was still so delicious. They're delicate and divine!

I doubled this recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan. I also added the zest from the lemons to the curd. While the flavor was very good, the crust came out a bit too thick. I would have liked more of the lemon curd, so I will probably double that part of the recipe next time, and cut back a bit on the crust.

A great recipe! I doubled the amount of lemon juice, and added an extra egg. Also, I reduced the baking time for the crust by 5 min, following other user's suggestions.

It's good and delicious. One thing I don't like is that it's a bit too sweet and not much lemon taste. Maybe it's because I personally don't like too much sugar. I will definitely make it another time, but I'll reduce the amount of sugar.

I am sixteen years old and I can be quite a disaster in the kitchen when it's my first time with a recipe. So the fact that I managed to make it within an hour is quite an accomplishment within itself. An EXTREMELY easy recipe. Very easy to make. I only baked the crust for about 15 minutes. And I actually used about one third less of the amount of ingredients specified for the crust because it provided better balance that way. It looked really appetizing! Tasted heavenly. A little sweet, so next time, I will definitely try using coconut instead of icing sugar as another user has recommended.

These were and are wonderful! I'm actually eating one right now as I type this! I have made these Lemon Bars a few times now and love the outcome...I'm completely addicted! lol I did change a few things to make it more to my liking. For instance, I baked the shortbread like crust for 15 mins instead of the 20 the recipe called for. I also added WAY more lemon juice...about 1/4 cup actually. :) My husband and I decided that we wanted more lemon taste. Thanks for a GREAT recipe that I will make all the time! :)

Well, i found out about this dessert in a most peculiar way. I was watching the new Nancy Drew movie (very corny, yet enjoyable if you were wondering) and I saw that at the beginning of the movie, Nancy offered a very tasty looking dessert to a burglar. I was informed that this dessert was called a 'lemon bar' and decided that i just had to make it! I don't enjoy baking very much, but for some reason i was very excited to bake these lemon bars. So i followed the given recipe perfectly,but definitely wasn't ecstatic about the end result. I must say that my bars looked nothing like the picture above! I'm sure that 'annemarie' could bake them looking superb, but i must say that i couldn't pull it off! For these reasons I am going to rate this recipe at 1 star.

Lemon Bars are one of my favorite desserts; however, I was very disppointed in this recipe. After reading the reviews, I added extra juice plus the zest but the crust overpowers the taste. I will not make again.

These were very good! There's no need to buy boxed lemon bars anymore. I will definitely use this recipe again! Because I like it thicker on top, I think I would cut the crust in half [or double the filling]; but other than that, the flavor is perfect.
