These are very similar to a recipe my mom makes - only she uses less flour and butter in the bottom layer, and no coconut. Regarding a previous review, the bottom layer isn't supposed to have lemon in it - although, you can tweak the recipe any way you want to.

Really great! I used butter-flavored Crisco instead of butter for the crust and it came out awesome! I also forgot to put in the coconut, oops (baking with a 21 mth old can do that to you!)and they still tasted super good. I halved the frosting and put it on the squares while they were hot to make more of a glaze, so it wouldn't be too overwhelmingly sweet. Thanks! Will make these again.

This recipe was reeeally lemony and good! But very very sweet. Cutting down on sugar might help.

This is a family favorite that my mom made when I was growing up. My recipe calls for 1/2 cup powdered sugar in the crust instead of white sugar. I also bake mine in a 13 x 9 pan and cut in small 1 inch square pieces for almost a "candy" type of taste rather than eating a big bar. They are wonderful--I have always gotten rave reviews.

These bars were way too sweet for me and my family. I might try making them again without the icing. I did think that the crust was very good on these bars.

These turned out fabulous! I did use 6 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice in the middle part of the recipe. I also increased the flour by 1 tbsp to compensate the extra liquid. Nice and tart and perfect. Next time I will only ice half of the squares, a bit too sweet for my likings! My husband loves the icing though! He has a major sweet tooth.My crust turned out well. A little harder on the edges but that is expected! Overall a great recipe! I might try and decrease the sugar a bit in the middle next time. Maybe to one cup. I will try!

Bravo! I have been looking for an old recipie that I used to have but was lost. It was a coconut bar w/ lemon, and I think this was as close to what I used to have as I could find. It is soooo good. The only thing I remember being different was that the egg mixture( the way I used to make it) was a brownish color- so I added a tsp. of vanilla, and instead of a whole cup of sugar, I added half brown and half white for a full cup. We are having our house worked on, and let me tell you something, food is a wonderul motivator! These bars went fast and they were begging for more- I have made three bathches in the past week! Thank you so much-it is delicious!

The first batch I made didn't turn out to well..too hard..so I made another batch. I wouldn't say these are the best I've ever had, but I did add more lemon juice as suggested and the glaze was very good. Something was missing in the crust,though.

It didn't turn out how I thought it was going to. I had never made or had lemon squares before this. To me it tasted like they needed a little more sugar and the crust was too thick.

I grew up with this recipe. The lemon glaze is supposed to seep into the second layer. The author didn't forget to add lemon to the second layer. I also suggest not adding lemon to the second layer but increasing the amount of lemon juice in the glaze to 6 tsps

*The author forgot to add the lemon to the main part of the squares*. My boyfriend made these for my bday, leaving the lemon out of the squares (it was still in the icing). Even without the lemon in the squares THEY WERE SO DELICIOUS. I almost ate the entire pan myself. Next time we'll add the lemon to the squares and the icing!
