Even people that normally don't eat sweets, loves these cookies. They are always devoured and I am asked for the recipe.

I've followed the recipe as written and there are no improvements or adjustments necessary. Not too sweet, not too tart, just very lemony.

These bars rock! Serve them at a party or bring them to a party and be prepared to talk about them the whole time as guests rant and rave.

My boyfriend has been toying with these lemon bars for a couple years now. The original recipe comes out WAY too sickening sweet and barely lemon flavored at all.
This is the same recipe in her book except that in the book you use granulated sugar in the crust instead of powdered, which we think turns out better.

The instructions are great and this recipe is really really simple. The bars make great christmas presents in cookie tins, and got rave reviews from all.

He increased the lemon juice to the juice of 6 or 7 lemons, and the zest from all of them. The sugar was cut down to 1.5 cups in the filling, and we plan to cut it down further with the next batch.

There weren't any issues with the bars setting up.
This recipe is good, but if you want the bars to actually taste like Lemon, increase the lemon juice and decrease the sugar in the filling until it reaches a level you are comfortable with taste wise.

I love these, they are so easy to make. I did add alittle more lemon juice, I used the juice from 2 lemons and the zest from both. They were perfect. Can't wait to make them again.

These are simple, easy and taste great!!! I read the reviews so I added lemon zest to the crust and the filling. Without the zest it wont have a lemon flavor. I used the zest from 1 lemon and put half in the crust and half in the filling. EVERYONE loved them, my neighbors can't wait for me to make them again....

My Husband is addicted to Lemon Bars, but They're kinda annoying to make because you have to prebake.
This one was fun because the crust wasn't too wet and easy to get squished into the pan : and it didn't stick to my hands.
The filling was great too! I only had 1 egg so I halved the whole recipe and added a tablespoon of mayo. It worked great!
Happiness abounds in mass quantities

This recipe is excellent, the only thing is the first time I made it, the lemon curd was to thick. The second time I made this I cut down the 6 tablespoons of flour to 2 tablespoons and they came out perfectly

This is by far the BEST recipe for Lemon Bars I have made or tatsted.. If you want a more Lemon flavor just add a little more fresh lemon juice, I like the recipe the way it is though.. I have made different variations of lemon bars before, but the crust nor the actual filling had the taste this recipe does. I would give Paula a blue ribbon if she entered these in our county fair. Thanks Paula!

I usually love Paula's recipes and was really excited to make these. However, I couldn't even taste the lemon at all! They almost tasted like a chess pie. You would definitely need to add more lemon to call them "lemon bars."
