Shortbread Lemon bars

I’m always looking out for great recipes, especially when I’ve lost some of my favorites! When my son was a boy I made lemon bars from scratch with a recipe of my own. We always enjoyed them! 

Anyways it’s been lost over the years so the search was on to find a close replacement. Here’s what I found so far. Sally’s Baking Addiction came super close with her lemon bar recipe. A bit on the tangy side I’d say. But powdered sugar on top and cutting them into small bite sized bars helps.

 

 

I liked them enough to share my thoughts. For me lemon bars should shine brightly with lemon. These do for sure. Using fresh squeezed lemon juice is a must. The crust tastes like a super moist shortbread cookie.

Thanks Sally for bringing back a treasured favorite. I’ll be adding this to my list of most used recipes.
