Memorable family meals were complete when these tangy bars were served, my husband remembers from his childhood. That's still true today for our family. Their sweetness rounds out the meal, but the lemony flavor keeps them light. Don't expect many leftovers once family and friends taste these bars!

This is a great recipe. If you really like the lemon taste go ahead and add another teaspoon, I did and it was great.

Great dessert! I used lemon juice and zest rather than the extract and added 1 cup of shredded coconut to the filling before baking. Yummy!

I have this exact same recipe except mine calls for the oven temperature to be 350. I've made these at least a hundred times and they've NEVER burned.

For such a small pan, try baking them for 10 minutes and check by inserting toothpick into the center. You can always bake longer at 2-3 minute increments. The longer baking time would be more appropriate for a 9x13 pan. In addition, these cookie style crusts tend to brown quickly so watch them carefully. You could try baking these bars in a glass pan instead of metal. Stear clear of dark, nonstick pans. They can brown items too quickly. If you do use dark, nonstick pans, lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees. Good luck next time!
