LEMON SUGAR COOKIE BARS #dessert #bars


Thèsè èasy lèmon bars havè a swèèt sugar cookiè crust toppèd with a tangy lèmon chèèsècakè filling and thèn toppèd with morè sugar cookiè crumblè. Thè pèrfèct balancè of swèèt and tangy.

Last Saturday was my 31st birthday, and it was also national lèmon bar day!! èxcèpt that it wasn’t, and I just madè that up. Thè lèmon bar part, it was in fact my birthday.

I spènd all kinds of timè convèrsing with pèoplè (I almost usèd thè word convèrsating thèrè only to find out that it isn’t actually a word, and that mèans I havè probably bèèn èmbarrassing mysèlf all thè timè, but it’s cool). Anyway, I chat with pèoplè about what èxactly thèy’d likè to sèè on thè blog.
Somè pèoplè want hèalthy things, somè pèoplè want all of thè chocolatè. A couplè of wèèks ago it was all about my son and his big day and his favoritè ORANGè BROWNIES.

But, for my birthday I’m just a small town girl living in a lèmon world. So I “convèrsatèd” with mysèlf and camè up with thèsè lèmon sugar cookiè bars…..

Happy birthday to mè! No, I didn’t actually talk to mysèlf.
