Lemon Cookie Recipes

I'd lost my family recipe for lemon squares and spent a lot of time trying new ones that would measure up. None did, but thankfully I recently found the recipe again. Best lemon squares out there.

Lemon bars on a shortbread base.

These creamy lemon cheesecake bars have a smoother texture than the usual custard texture of a boxed lemon bar mix. I just about died when I had them the first time. A good friend made them for another friend's birthday. I immediately asked her for the recipe as my Christmas present. She courteously obliged. They are the best!

Found this cheesecake cookie bars recipe going through my mom's recipe box. Good memories...

Great fresh lemon taste in a chewy little cookie with a nice crisp brown edge. If you don't have the almonds, you can substitute 1/4 cup additional sugar instead.

These bars are perfect on a hot summer day.

These are amazing keto-friendly cookies. So yummy, they are like little tea biscuits.

Sugar cookies with a little lemon zing! Even better when they're cool.

These low-carb, keto-friendly lemon bars are made with almond flour and erythritol sweetener (such as Swerve®). Top with a dusting of confectioners' sugar if you like.

These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. Following this recipe as written, you can take comfort in knowing you're not feeding your children any artificial colorings.

You can use fresh peaches or frozen for this recipe.
