Expert Tips

Garnish with grated lemon peel or lemon peel strips.

When grating lemon peel, be sure to grate only the yellow part of the skin. The white part, or pith, is very bitter.

These did not impress me unfortunately. They tasted ok, but basically came out as a lemon cookie. I, too, used lemon cake mix as well. I was expecting gooey lemon bars, and no, I didn't over-bake them at all. They didn't taste bad, they were just sort of... blah.
