Used cold butter cubed and made the entire recipe in the food processor. Reduced the sugar in the crust to 3 TBS. Didn't use 1/3 cup of powdered sugar to dust with...maybe like 2-3 TBS. Other than those minor changes, made the recipe as written. Made a good lemon bar! Would make again.

I think this recipe is excellent. I followed the directions but added the following: the rind and juice of two lemons. Many reviewers suggested that the bars were not too lemony. This cookie crust was very good. It was adequate for a 9"x9" square pan. Next time I make this recipe, I will double the the "cookie" part as I prefer a thicker base. Thanks for sharing a great recipe and thanks to reviewers as well for their remarks. If you love lemon bars, try this recipe. I think its very delicious and extremely easy to make. It also uses ingredients that most kitchens would be likely to have on hand.

This little bar is delicious! My Meyer lemon tree produced its first lemon and I wanted to use it to make something special. This was delicious. It's sweet, chewy, crumbly and yummy. What a great treat after waiting so long for my lemon to ripen :)

This recipe does not taste like lemon at all! Simply makes a butter/sugar bar. I will not spend the time to modify because there are much better recipes out there.

A nice crust and good texture to the filling, but almost NO lemon flavour, and I had increased lemon juice to 3 tbsp. I like my Lemon Square to make me pucker, and this just didn't do it.

These didnt turn out too well. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out very brown on top which didnt add a good taste too it. I couldnt get them out of the supposed to be "ungreased" pan and when I did the crust crumbled. They were not lemony tasting at all even with the extra tbsp of juice I added. Will not make again.

These were SOOO good. We had company over, my dad's college friend and his family with 2 little kids (3 and 6,) so i needed to do something with them to keep them occupied. They loved making this recipe and it's so easy and quick so there was stuff for them to do to. I thought this recipe wold be really bland with only 2 tbs of lemon juice but they had a lot of flavor. Defiantly making them again :)

This recipe was easy to follow and tasted pretty good when it was finished. The only problem I had was it never really cooked, it was like a liquidy gel in the middle, it never solidified and became cake like.

Delicious! My whole family loved these squares. I also added another tbsp of lemon juice and a bit more sugar too. Will make again.
