This is such a nostalgic recipe. When I was growing up every mom I knew had a recipe for Lemon Bars! This one looks great.

my mom passes away without writing her lemon bar recipee down and it took my sister and I about 3 years before we finally found the right one after searching cook books high and low!!! I use more lemon, but it looks to be the same as this one!

I must try this one. I love lemon bars and lemon cookies. Sunshine has a cookie called 'Lemon Coolers' and I really love them.

These are so wonderful, but mine never turn out right, like my mothers. I am a fairly experienced cook, but I always have something go wrong. I will have to try your recipe!
