I made these and they were great. The second time I made them, I just used the rolls sugar cookie dough and just made the lemon bar filling and bake. Make sure you prebake your cookie dough like it stated in the directions.

These bars were so easy to make and they look great. They are not all crumbly like many other lemon bars (previous ones that I tried to make today). I have yet to taste them, but they look wonderful and it was a very easy recipe to make.

These are easy and REALLY good! The next time I won't fool around with an 8x8 pan. My 11 year old granddaughter and her friend, my husband, my son and I (I ate one small square)ate the whole pan except for 2 squares. I didn't measure the juice, I just used what I squeezed from 2 medium lemons, which produced a little more than called for. Also, I used jumbo eggs and one had 2 small yolks. Great bars!
