I'm not a fan of the glaze on these bars. I think it's too sweet.

These bars are delicious, but they are very rich. I would recommend cutting them into small pieces so that you don't overindulge.

I made these bars exactly as the recipe said, but they turned out too dry. I think I should have added a little more butter to the crust.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I really enjoyed these bars. The lemon flavor is not overpowering, and the shortbread crust is perfectly balanced.

These lemon shortbread bars are a delicious and refreshing treat! The shortbread crust is buttery and crumbly, and the lemon filling is tart and tangy. I love the combination of flavors and textures.
