I lost my old recipe for lemon bars and thought I'd try these. I'm not sure if I did something wrong but the crust was tasteless and crumbly and the lemon part was very bland. Probably wouldn't make these again

not very lemony. I will add more next time. Great crust. Didn't need to pre-bake it for so long.

This is a great recipe except for the filling needs to be doubled. There was barely enough lemon flavor.

I couldn't decide between making this recipe or "The Best Lemon Bars" so I made both yesterday. Friends and family adored and gobbled up "The Best Lemon Bars" and this batch went virtually untouched.

I added a bit more lemon and lemon zest. I like them really tart. Overall, a great recipe. Thanks!

Just baked this today. Changed the recipe a bit by making more crust and making it thicker also. (The crust tastes and smells fantastic by the way). Also messed around with the powdered sugar/lemon juice ratio and baked for about 15 mins at 350. They came out looking very nice. Will let you know how my mom likes them, she is the one I made em for.

The actual taste of the bars were great, no complaints there! The texture of them was a bit off though, they came out more custardy than a normal lemon bar. I think the cook time for the liquids is a bit too much. They almost had an egg like texture, I will see if adding less egg next time will help reduce this effect.

I'm normally not a fan of lemon bars, but these were really good! My mother said this was one of the best desserts she'd ever eaten. The filling had just the right amount of "chewy gooey-ness". It tastes like it has sweetened condensed milk in it, and I was really surprised to learn that it didn't. I'll definitely be making these again!

Yummy! Love the shortbread crust. The filling didn't seem to be enough to make a thick, traditional gooey filling, but its a nice cookie anyway, a little different. I used a pan that was 11 1/2 x 7 1/2. I thought maybe it stretched out an extra inch, therefore spreading thinner, crust and filling. I would only increase the filling by half if at all.

Really tasty! I doubled the recipe thinking I would make two batches, but ended up using all most of the crust and all of the filling for one. Next time I will probably only double the filling and put it in a 11x9 pan. It needs a little more confectioner's sugar as it was a little to tart for me!!

I thought this was one of the best lemon bar recipes I've tried. I loved the crust! I only needed to cook the lemon part for 20 minutes instead of 25. These were GREAT!!!!

These tasted good, but there was like no filling. They did not fluff up at all and they looked horrible. I liked the taste, but it was paper thin, and I used a small pan.
