The recipe for these tangy lemon bars comes from my cousin Bernice, a farmer's wife famous for cooking up feasts. &mdash; Mildred Keller, Rockford, Illinois

Well, l made them for my AG. Society bake sale.  Very tasty,quic to whip up.  I did 2 pans at a time.  I used parchment so easy to lift out of the pan.  Cut beautifully with the pizza cutter.  A go to recipe.  Janet. VFE

These were great! I think the reader's need to READ! she SAID Beatrice was a farmer's wife. They are wonderful cook's,and part of the foundation of this country! And most do not have a lemon tree on the property! Most are miles from a grocery store,so they have to rely on having supplies. Amongst the hundred of things they have to do for the day! This magazine has farmer's wives, house wives and good home cook's! Maybe the critical viewer's should look at the higher end magazines, which they also want all the wierd ingredients that are not on hand! I made these and see why they are a known best seller's. Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome recipe! Added pecans to the shortbread, used 1/3c. Lemon juice , 1t. lemon extract, and 1T. Lemon zest..

These are the best lemon bars EVER. (Even better than my mom's recipe!) I like that they are sturdy with a bold lemon flavor. I did add some extra lemon zest to the batter, and I lined my baking pan with parchment paper for easy lifting and cutting. This is my new go-to recipe!

I haven't made these yet but we're having grilled ribeyes and baked potatoes. This sounds like the perfect dessert to highlight an evening with friends. I will post our opinions later, I'm so excited!!

This is in response to nramsey's post. To added more lemon flavor to these bars I zested one lemon in addition to the juice in the recipes. This added a refreshing tartness.

Yummy!  Double recipe and bake in jelly roll pan.

This is great for bake sales.  I also use it in my x-mas candy trays.

I love the flavor of the bars!  My crust was thin and did not cover the 13 x 9 pan very well.  They fell apart trying to remove them from the pan.  Next time I think I will use a smaller pan and line it with parchment as some have suggested.  I think I would like them thicker!

These were pretty good.  The crust was a little thicker than I would prefer (was about half crust and half filling), and was a little too firm.  Not sure if that was because I over-baked or over-mixed it.  I did use juice from real lemons (two of them), and it definitely made them taste great.

i made this recipe tens of times and they are my picky eater daughter favourate and my comes over whenever she knows that i'm backing them

Every time I make these lemon bars people go crazy.  They are so easy and so good.  The trick is to use sweet butter and not margarine.

This is my go to recipe for lemon bars. I have had many compliments on this recipe. Have made it numerous times with perfect results. The shortbread crust is very different from the usual lemon bars.

Looking forward to baking these sounds delicious

Absolutely delicious...melt-in-your-mouth good! I have made these many times for various events.

These are so good and easy to make!  I substituted crushed 'Nilla Wafers instead of the flour and sugar for the crust.  Turned out great!

I just made this.  The crust did not spread so the lemon mix did not work on top.  Will not make again as did not think it was vey lemon either.

Easy to make. Big flavor.  Used real lemon's.  Made it for treat day and co-workers requested the recipe.

Lemon bars are my favorite! These are amazing! Line the pan with parchment paper so the bars are easier to remove from the pan.

My family loves the sweet-tangy taste of this recipe. I used home grown Meyer Lemons, and they were awesome. Quick and easy to make, I do give this recipe 5 stars. Yummy......
