Shortbread Lemon Bars
I've put together two family cookbooks over the years, and this recipe ranks among my favorites. These special lemon bars have a yummy shortbread crust and a refreshing flavor. I never hesitate to make this dessert for guests since I know it will be a hit. —Margaret Peterson, Forest City, Iowa

These lemon bars are THE BEST! Nice crust, tangy lemon filling balanced out with the sour cream topping!!
I haven't made these yet but I'm wondering how important the zest is? I don't have a place to buy zest and I don't have the right "tool" in my kitchen supply to make zest. Help!!
Very good. A big hit at church.
I made these lemon bars for my church's coffee hour after service, and were they ever good! they tasted just like a lemon meringue pie without the meringue. Many people told me they loved them and asked for the recipe. These will be on my "regulars" list now for sure!
These were a hit at our Christmas dinner!
I made these today using all fresh ingredients. I added toasted crushed pecans to the shortbread and added a homemade blackberry compote for a topping on top of sour cream. Looks delish and can't wait to taste them after dinner tonight. Wish I could attach a picture.
Just finished making this. The sour cream layer has not set and I cooked it for extra time. I hope after cooling and overnight refridgeration it will set. Haven't tasted it yet, so we will see!
Can I just say these are the best lemon bars I have ever eaten? Fabulous! I put some in the freezer so I can get my fix every few days.
This is too delicious for words. My grandchildren absolutely love them and beg for more.
Very tasty! Loved the the tangy filling. Used powdered sugar as the topping . Very simple but very appetizing.
