Ooey Gooey Lemon Bars Recipe
Ooey gooey lemon bars bursting with lemon flavor on top of a homemade shortbread.
I make these every year and never get tired of them. There is just something about the yummy flavors of buttery shortbread and tangy lemon filling that make them irresistible. You can always recognize lemon bars because of the pretty snow white confectioners sugar on top, which makes them a pretty dessert to set on your table, as well as an addictive one!
Try to make them the same day you plan to eat them while they are at their best of flavors!
