This particular recipe is a classic and one that I received from my mother-in-law several years back. She often includes it in Christmas cookie deliveries. This year, each of us got to request one type of cookie from the Christmas Elf and this was the type that Trent chose (he was nice enough to share them with me).
The first time I made lemon bars (with a different recipe) they stuck in the pan, so I've been hesitant to repeat the experience. These came out like a dream and will definitely occur in the dessert rotation more often.
