I followed the recipe exactly, but my lemon squares didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

These lemon squares were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

These lemon squares were absolutely delightful! The buttery shortbread crust and the tangy lemon filling were the perfect combination. I added a bit of extra lemon zest to the filling, and it really brightened up the flavor.
