These are so easy to make it was my first by "scratch" item and it was a hit at my work potluck. Several people even asked me for the recipe. I will make these again but without the glaze.

If you love lemon or other citrus bars, you'll love these! SO tasty and easy. I would recommend a pastry cutter to put the crust together, instead of just a spoon. I make these without the icing, but then, that's just my personal preference. Will make these again and again! Yum!
