These were a bit of a miss for me. I would have liked a thicker shortbread crust (the 9×13 spread it too thin) and it needed more tartness!

I prefer mine less sweet, maybe using 1.5 cups sugar instead of2.

Do you think I could double the recipe and make this in a half sheet? Or will it rise too high.

In reply to Kea. Use a glass pan and check your oven with an internal oven thermometer. Your oven may be running hot.

My edges burn too fast. I use a metal pan. I only lay parchment down on the bottom. Any tips?

In reply to Tricia. Use the standard measurements.

I made these bars 2 times…..first time they were really delicious. I used the standard measurements (not grams). The second time, I used a scale and measured in grams. It states 55 grams of lemon juice which was about a cup (not 1/4 cup)of lemon juice. The bars baked for about 40 minutes and are still watery. Should it be less grams or did I misunderstand?

I’ve made these twice now and I absolutely love them! Tossing out my old lemon bar recipes and replacing it with this one! Perfect texture, chewy and oooey gooey but still holds its shape! Perfect! The hardest part is waiting for them to cool so you can dive into them!

Thank you for sharing your Mom’s lemon bar recipe. I absolutely love lemon bars! We have couple lemon trees on our property, and we end up with tons of lemons. I will be making this when our lemons are ready. Can’t wait!

These were delicious!! This was my first time making lemon bars and this recipe was super easy to follow. I made these with gluten-free flour and they turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing this recipe! Looking forward to the next time I make them. 🙂

In reply to Marianne. Make sure you bake for long enough and then let them set!

So good, best lemon bars I’ve had!

My filling was still runny after baking and cooling. They taste great so I’m going to gamble and put them bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Hope they still come out ok. Of course I made these for Mother’s Day!

Hi ! Did you cut them into squares after they cooled down or before ? Just wanted to be absolutely sure about this because many times brownies tend to crack on the top while cutting them
Thank you !
Akira.

In reply to Maryann. You dont want your pan to jiggle, that's how you will know they are done. And then make sure you let them sit long enough to set.

Love lemon bars but have never tried making before! I tried this recipe this morning. I should have done a little more research before putting theses in the oven because I quickly realized that I didn’t have a good understanding of how I would know when they were “done”! And unfortunately, I didn’t bake long enough. . The edges are set nicely and DELICIOUS! The center is runny and not very tasty. . But those edges - so good. I will absolutely make again and bake longer next time to determine the appropriate baking time for my oven. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe which encouraged me to begin experimenting with lemon bars!

Have you ever done this with dairy free butter? My daughter has a dairy allergy. So I’m curious as how good it would be.

In reply to Sarah holt. It should probably be cooked a little longer and then make sure you let them cool completely to room temperature.
