These are the best and I thought very easy. So far all of Anne Thornton's recipes are absolutely delicious. So many times you try a recipe and you end up disapointed. So thank you Anne for giving us true recipes that come out great every time.

This recipe is SUBLIME! I make these for many family or congregation get togethers and there is never one bite left! The shortbread crust has a buttery and melt-in-your-mouth texture which is the perfect backdrop for the sweet, lemony tang of the topping! I love adding extra zest for extra zing! I even tweaked the crust recipe by replacing the vanilla (since I'd run out with raspberry extract and it was delicious!

The are easily some of the best lemon squares I have ever eaten. I've been searching for a recipe with the perfect lemon curd to shortbread ratio, and I've finally found it! The website labels this recipe "intermediate" in terms of the skill needed to pull it off, but I found it to be very easy! I'm taking my batch to work tomorrow. :
Try these-- you will not be disappointed!
Update: My coworkers went gaga for these. They really capture the essence of what lemon bars are supposed to be.

I have tried so many lemon bar recipes that have always left something to be desired. Anne Thornton's lemon squares are simply the best! I think the right balance between sweet and tart is difficult to achieve, and these achieve the perfect balance. I have made them several times and they have been a hit!

Mixed reviews in my house. All liked it, some said too lemony, others said not lemony enough. And a neighbor I gave them to said they were the best she has ever had and doesnt even like lemon bars. I am not sure what to rate, ugh. I think I will keep searching for the kind I buy in bakeries, but this was very tasty.

I love this recipe. I followed the recipe as written. The lemon was sour and delicious. So often lemon bars have too much sugar. The addition of almond extract and lemon zest is wonderful. Anne is a great addition to food network! Question about this recipe . . .would it work to substitute limes for the lemons? My brother loves limes, and bars are easier to serve then key lime pie.

Best lemon bars I've ever had! Recipe was very easy to make and they came out great, despite the fact that I was rushed while making them. Our guests loved them. Will definitely make these again!
