I work for Yummly, but I wanted to make this recipe for my family because we have a lemon tree with some fresh lemons that needed to be put to use. This recipe was really delicious and is such a refreshing treat! I cooked mine for 35 minutes when the toothpick came out completely clean, but the sides were a bit on the brown side (it didn’t taste burnt though). I would recommend pulling the lemon bars out of the oven at 30 minutes when the toothpick inserted in the middle is almost clean to avoid the browning on the edges. The lemon flavor in this recipe is strong , but they’re lemon bars so I expected them to taste really lemony. We personally really enjoyed them and can’t wait to make them again! 😋 would recommend!

It was a little burnt on the sides and I used 32 minutes, but the center wasn’t super clean on the pick. Great flavor

Wow! These bars are fabulous - lemony tangy sweet, a great buttery crust, and no heavy eggy taste (which has turned me off of other homemade lemon bars). This is a great recipe!!

Great! A little heavy on the sugar side so I may cut the sugar for the crust in halve

Tasty and easy to make. The powdered sugar helps cover up the craters with are inevitable in lemon bars and gives a nice add of sweetness
