Lemon Bars With Shortbread Crust

It’s a paradox that lemons, like most citrus fruits, peak during winter throughout much of the country, because sunshine-bright lemons just scream spring and summer.  Besides their happy and fresh look, you’ll want to grab plenty of fresh lemons for these lemon bars with shortbread crust. These lemon bars are the season’s mascot.

What You’ll Love About This

  • This lemon bar recipe contains the perfect balance of sweetness to tanginess ratio.
  • You’ll get to use up 3 large lemons plus zest. This is especially awesome if you’re a lucky lemon tree owner.
  • The smooth lemon filling rests atop a mouthwatering buttery shortbread crust that tastes of perfection.
  • These homemade lemon bars are heads and shoulders above any store bought lemon bars.
  • Homemade lemon bars are super budget friendly (you won’t even want coffee shop lemon bars after you try these.)
  • These lemon bars keep well for up to a week in the fridge.
