SHORTBREAD LEMON BARS
I've put together two family cookbooks over the years, and this recipe ranks among my favorites. These special lemon bars have a yummy shortbread crust and a refreshing flavor. I never hesitate to make this dessert for guests since I know it will be a hit. -Margaret Peterson, Forest City, Iowa
