Notes
- My lemon cookie bars were done in 2.5 hours exactly. The bars are done once the edges begin to brown.
- They may appear soft in the center but will set and firm up once they cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months by tightly wrapping each bar in plastic wrap and defrost before eating.
- I was able to cut the bars into 12 squares using a 6-quart oval slow cooker.
