I love lemon, it’s one of my favorite flavors and I cook and back with it all the time.  Like my Sour Cream Lemon pie, Lemon Salmon and Lemon Scones… Mmmm  So you’d think I’d love traditional lemon bars, right? WRONG.  Something about the texture, I’ve just never been a fan.  THEN my sister made these for me and I DIED.

She got this recipe from her HS best friend and that’s as far back as I know them, but I ADORE THEM.  Seriously I will NEVER bother with making traditional lemon scones again.  The top and bottom crust on these bars is SO good, and instead of being kind of gelatin like the filling of these is creamy goodness.

As you can see in the video it seriously is a SUPER EASY recipe – and doesn’t take anything super fancy to make and is done super fast! I will say I adore my kitchen iq lemon zester though if your going to get yourself something fun. I always have these ingredients on hand so it’s super easy to toss in the oven whenever I have a craving for them (which has been often recently)!

And that’s it.  The last step for me is to HIDE IT, cause I hate sharing.  And I can down this entire pan in a day…  OR make two pans, share one and enjoy the other… My family always knows when I’ve baked, it smells so good, so it’s hard not to share something.  How about you? What are some of your favorite flavors you bake and cook with?

    Do you think that gluten free flour mix would work in place of the flour?

      I’m sure it would, the question is the ratio, would it be the same ratio? or a little less? that would take some experimenting

    I saved this recipe awhile ago, but hadn’t made them until yesterday! I was making a goodie basket to give to Deana Carter backstage at her concert last night, and decided to add these to the assortment. WOW, Ashlee, these are soooo YUMMY! When they came out of the oven, I was a little concerned that my top crust was going to make a mess…a bit loose and crumbly.
    I put a baggy over my hand and pressed the crumbs in a little, and then shook off each piece as I cut them, they were perfect. No need to worry! (I might not have even needed to do that, but I jumped into action without really seeing what a cut piece was like) anyhoooo, they are DEEEELISH! Thank you for sharing.

    Can you make these ahead? Or how do you store leftovers?

      I just store them in tupperware, and they should last a few days just fine
