It&rsquo;s <strong>quick, easy to follow, and basically failproof<\/strong>! It has 2 simple parts: a buttery shortbread base, and a creamy, sweet-tart lemon curd layer on top. These bars have the perfect crust-to-filling ratio, and are topped with a simple sprinkling of powdered sugar&ndash; just the way they should be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, the toughest part of the recipe just might be juicing the lemons. You&rsquo;ll get the best flavor results from using fresh-squeezed lemons, so resist the urge to take a shortcut and use store-bought juice &ndash; take those extra few minutes to get your squeeze on. &#128170;&#127996; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are gonna LOVE these. The bright flavor of lemons really shines through every bite, and is sure to quench your craving for the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/lemon\/\">lemon dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tip is-style-border has-background has-pattern-secondary-background-color\"><div class=\"cwp-inner\">\n\n<p class=\"block-tip__title is-style-heading has-big-font-size\">More Lemon Desserts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a lemon lover?

Check the <a href=\"#recipe\">recipe card<\/a> below for a full ingredient list. (<em>Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the Crust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Butter and salt:<\/strong><\/span> I prefer to use&nbsp;unsalted butter in my baked goods so that I can control the salt more precisely. If desired, you can use salted butter, but omit the additional salt in the recipe. To make the bars dairy-free, use your favorite vegan butter replacement. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Sugar:<\/strong><\/span> Use regular granulated sugar to sweeten the crust. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong><\/span> Adds a lovely burst of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46qZZux\" data-eafl-id=\"61631\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">vanilla flavor<\/a> to the shortbread. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Flour:<\/strong><\/span> Use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45cBAIa\" data-eafl-id=\"61636\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">all-purpose flour<\/a> for the base of the crust. Make sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make your shortbread crust overly dense. I recommend using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46O5T9F\" data-eafl-id=\"62991\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">food scale <\/a>if possible. If you don&rsquo;t have a scale, measure by scooping the flour into a measuring cup, then leveling off the top with the back of a knife.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Eggs:<\/strong><\/span> The filling needs 8&nbsp;large eggs (not medium or extra large).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Lemon juice and zest:<\/strong><\/span> To get the very best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest. You<em> can <\/em>use store-bought lemon juice, but in my opinion the flavor is not nearly as good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Sugar:<\/strong><\/span> To sweeten the filling, use regular granulated sugar. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Flour:<\/strong><\/span> The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45cBAIa\" data-eafl-id=\"61636\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">all-purpose flour<\/a> in the filling helps to bind everything together and gives the filling a creamier texture. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Powdered sugar:<\/strong><\/span> Regular powdered sugar works fine, but melts into the bars after awhile. I like to top my bars with non-melting powdered sugar, which, as the name suggests, won&rsquo;t melt into the bars due to condensation.

Choose lemons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet, citrusy aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overmix the crust:<\/strong> Mix the dough just until the ingredients come together. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t underbake: <\/strong>every oven is different, and your bars may take a little longer to cook. Don&rsquo;t just go by time &ndash; keep them in the oven until they look set and the centers barely jiggle when the pan is moved. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overbake: <\/strong>Keep an eye on the bars while they&rsquo;re baking, and remove them from the oven as soon as they&rsquo;re lightly golden. Overbaking can make the bars unpleasantly dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let them cool completely: <\/strong>Resist the temptation to cut into the bars as soon as they come out of the oven. Let them cool <em>completely <\/em>to ensure they set properly and are easier to cut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Look no further for the best Lemon Bar Recipe!
