I used an 8 inch square pan and used 4 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp lemon peel- for a great lemon flavor. The edges did get a bit too tough for our tastes. When I make again I will bake the filling for a less time. I also sprayed the pan instead of using foil or wax paper but will use of of those next time for easier removal.

Very good, a little sweet, I think they are better in the fridge for 3-4 hours. thanks for posting.

These were easy to make and tasted nice and lemony. I used wax paper underneath instead of foil. I used a 9" square pan for a little thinner bars. Thank you Redsie! I'm glad I picked you for the Cookie Jar Bake-Off!
