Super easy to make. I even liked it even though I don't even like lemon! My DH's work loved them too.

I love this recipe and always make it for parties and potlucks. The only thing I do different is instead of icing I just sprinkle powdered sugar on top and it's just perfect.

Amazing. My son requests these regularly. I freeze them so we always have some on hand.

Very simple instructions with pastry shop results! VERY important to beat the filling for 5 minutes, and chilled butter works better than softened for a tender crust. I prefer to shake a bit of plain icing sugar over the bars when they are fully cooled---messy but good!

These had a nice lemon flavor, but there was a hint of chaulkyness that may have come from the confection suger. Will try again changing the ratio in the icing on top.

Something is amiss with the recipe because my center always comes out too soupy and the crust/top always gets too brown before the filling even has enough time to cook. I even covered it with foil and baked another 10 mins and the filling was still too gooey. Also, not enough lemon flavor and way too much sugar. I made the mistake of trying another lemon bar recipe when I love my lemon bar recipe out of my old Better homes and gardens cookbook (With the famous red plaid cover). Now THAT'S a great lemon bar recipe! This one, just doesn't cut it.

These were awesome! My friend and I finished the contents of a 9x9" square pan in one sitting!! We halved the recipe and used the juice of 2 whole lemons and it turned out the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Next time I will make more filling since this time it was a little thin. We also burned ours a little, but after cutting away those unwanted edges, we noticed a lovely, chewy layer on top. We nixed the icing and just sprinkled some powdered sugar. And the rest is history!

I tried this recipie twice and it just wasn't working out for me. Both times the crust was great. It was really buttery and easy. The filling was another story, both times it had an eggy taste, and not enough lemon. The second time I used more lemon in it and some zest, but it was not very tart at all.

This is really tasty! Everybody loved it. I might try to use key lime juice instead next time for a different flavor.

Lemon bar perfection! My co-worker introduced me to these. If she bakes it, it's bound to be the best thing you've ever tasted. She follows this recipe but adds the zest of 1 lemon to the glaze. It doesn't get better than these lemon bars!
