I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I liked these bars. The lemon flavor was strong and the crust was nice and buttery.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't like lemon desserts that much. My husband loved them though!

I thought the bars were a bit bland. I added some lemon zest and vanilla extract to the cream cheese filling and that helped a lot.

I had to make a few substitutions due to allergies, but the bars still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and dairy-free cream cheese. They were a hit with my family and friends.

The bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

My family and I enjoyed this dessert. It was easy to make and turned out delicious. The lemon and cream cheese flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the shortbread crust added a nice crunch.
