Lemon bars are a classic dessert. They are so light and just melt in your mouth; So delicious that you'll have a hard time just eating one tiny square. They are sweet with just a tiny zing from the fresh lemon juice. That leads me to saying that I highly suggest you use fresh lemon juice for this recipe because it makes a world of a difference. Juicing and zesting only takes a few seconds to do and adds loads of lemony-flavored goodness! So, next time you're at the store pick up a few lemons and bake up a batch of these amazing lemon bars. 🍋

Shortbread cookies have been a favorite in my family for many years. We are also big fans of lemon. So, why not combine the two and create a delicious, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookie and add a bright, creamy, lemon filling. A perfect combo! These cookies are a little more effort than other cookies, but trust me, they are worth the effort. The cookie dough is only 7 ingredients and mixes up super quick and easy. They're so perfect for the summer, or any season really! Do yourself a favor and give these sweet treats a try. I bet they'll become one of your favorite desserts!
