I followed the recipe exactly but my lemon bar cookie cups turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The crust on these lemon bar cookie cups was a bit dry. I would add a little more butter next time.

These lemon bar cookie cups are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these lemon bar cookie cups were surprisingly good. The crust is nice and buttery and the lemon filling is not too tart.
