Easy to make, straightforward instructions. Fabulous! No need to refrigerate if only storing overnight.

This is an excellent recipe! I didn't have any limoncello so I didn't put any liqueur in it and it still tasted heavenly. The crust is a little thick, so if you'd rather have a thinner crust, I recommend using 3/4 of the ingredients. I didn't get any complaints tho. Totally recommended recipe for a hot summer day.

Delicious! And....The crust did not get soft or soggy - even after a couple of days.

Love this! My sister-in-law made these at Christmas with Meyer Lemons from her tree and WOW! I'm cooling a batch now.

The only problem is the reference to the flour in the lemon mixture which isn't in the ingredient list...it only lists the crust flour.

I've tried numerous recipes for lemon squares and this one is my favorite! I used Absolut Citron in place of the limoncello. The secret to intensifying a citrus dessert is the alcohol - I have a frozen key lime pie recipe that calls for Cointreau and it's absolutely amazing.

I loved this recipe!!! I have made this recipe on a few occasions and it has turned out wonderfully every single time. I did not have any lemon liquer so I just added a splash more lemon juice. My family loved it and they have requested it time and time again. My only critique is that the crust was a tad too thick, But other than that I LOVED it.

I've made this recipe several times and it's been a hit every time. I use more lemon juice and zest (and have not used liquer just because I like it super lemony. But they're great if you follow the recipe exact.

These lemon squares turned out with perfect. I skipped the parchment paper step and just buttered my dish and the squares came out just fine. So yummy!

I found these lemon squares to be just okay. I did substitute lemon extract for the limoncello (a litle less than half the amount of limoncello called for and the lemon part itself had a nice, tangy flavor. They also needed about an extra 5-7 minutes in the oven to set up just right (not a big deal. What really left me disappointed was the crust. Maybe it's just because I knew it was there, but I could really taste the cornstarch. I felt like it overpowered any nice, buttery shortbread taste the crust might have had. My family still enjoyed them but as a picky cook I don't think I will use this recipe again (or perhaps will just try a different crust next time.
