made these more than once. Had great success, except that the powdered sugar turned brown by the next day. So now, I just add the powdered sugar right before serving them, on top. Also, I used Meyer lemons instead of regular and it made a world of difference in flavor.

Made exactly as-is, and texture was good, but it needs WAY more lemon flavor. It's barely lemony at all.

Very easy but a bit too sweet for me.

Love this recipe! It's always a hit. Sometimes, I make it with less sugar and it still tastes great. My sweet tooth changes a little while I am pregnant. But, there is NO need to do anything different because it is great as is.

I took these to work and they were a huge hit! I made the recipe as is with ingredients on hand, even bottled lemon juice. The crust was amazing and filling nice and tangy. The ratio of crust to filling was just right. Sprinkle with powered sugar for a pretty presentation.

These are great - the best batch I've made so far. Here are the adjustments that I made: 1. Add a pinch of salt to the crust. 2. Only use 3/4's of the mix for the bottom layer of crust. After you bake the bottom crust, add the lemon filling, and crumble the remaining 1/4 of the crust mixture on top... delicious! 3. For extra lemon flavor (without adding too much lemon juice and making the bars gooey) add the zest of one entire lemon to the lemon mixture. 4. For the lemon mixture, I used 1 and 1/2 cups of white sugar and 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar. I brought these into my office, sent them to my parents and boy friend and they can't get enough. :) Enjoy!!

I have made these a few times. I added lemon zest to the egg mixture for added lemon flavour. I will definitely make this again. Very good.

As these were baking, I read all the horrible reviews and wished I hadn't bothered. They turned out great! I followed recipe exactly (except I didn't have butter, so used margarine instead :() I will definately make again with butter and will try cutting it in cold as others have suggested. I added about 1/3 cup of shredded coconut to my base just because I love coconut and it was really good. I covered lightly with foil after about 15 mins because it started to brown and cooked for about an extra 5 mins. I was afraid the filling wasn't "set" but after chilling for a while, they were really good! Perfect lemon taste for my liking, not too much but just enough to make my mouth water. Maybe it depends on the type of pan used but I had no issues with removing mine and the crust was not hard as others have mentioned. I used a knife to loosen edges when just out of oven and cut into bars after chilling for about half an hour. Please give it a try before making all the changes others have made. If it doesn't work for you, THEN make adjustments. I thought it was great the way it is.
