Lemon Square Recipe

Coffee is my favorite flavor these days. But, a close second has to be lemon!

I have had several people tell me that they have not been able to perfect a lemon bar. So, I am sharing my recipe with everyone today in hopes that it is the last one you try.

I have made these time and time again and they always turn out just right!
