Reviews
The crust has a great flavor, but to me the crust to lemon ratio was off. I would make1/2 the crust or double the lemon filling
I've made this recipe twice per the instructions but both times it's not completely set. The second time I tried cooking it longer and the edges got hard and it still didn't set completely. Any ideas why?
These bars are delicious! Lavender pairs well with the lemon and adds just a hint of flavor.
This recipe was easy to make and tastes great. I would recommend crushing the lavender with a mortar and pestle for texture purposes.

Lavender lemon bars are delicious and so easy to make. My children step in and do whatever they can to make this recipe better, which does not surprise me at all. They're all good cooks and love baking as much as cooking.
