I tried 2 lemon squares today that I saw in YouTube. Compared to other posting, your recipe by far came out so good. It melts in your mouth. Thank you for posting your wonderful recipe. Your instruction was also well understood. This is my first time to bake lemon squares. By the way, I have a lemon tree so I zest about 4 lemons and used it in the recipe. Turned out great!

@Dudeifwhat another recipe I looked at substituted the crust for sugar cookie dough you might like that better

I just made this recipe and i LOVED the lemon part. i didn't like the crust though, i never have.. its just the smell of it makes me sick. I don't know why, every time i smell it i lose my appetite weather its with the recipe or any other

@bunnyxv Hmm, that's disappointing. I'm sorry that happened. I would suggest that perhaps your oven bakes hotter....or perhaps the butter wasn't cut fine enough into the flour? Did you proceed with the recipe anyway? Did it turn out ok?

I've been looking for a recipe that seemed close to the lemon bars they drooled over in one of my favorite shows, Las Vegas. That episode was one of the best! Thanks for uploading!
