Lemon Sugar Cookie Bars-a quick and easy treat and so pretty!
I need some spring in my life. Or at least some spring color. Yellow. Lemon. Sugar Cookies. Yes, this will bring a little spring into my kitchen. I love making cookie bars. So fast and easy. Tastes just like a cookie but in bar form. They look so pretty and take almost no time to make up a batch. Perfect for a party or a potluck.
You can easily change up the flavor buy changing out your extract. And the same goes for color. Need something for a baby shower? Just change your food coloring to pink or blue for the frosting. Add a few sprinkles or save out a bit of the frosting before adding the food coloring to make a design on top and you’ve got your cookie bars all dressed up and ready to party.

Joan, these look incredible! Love sugar cookie bars, and adore the lemon twist…a MUST try!!!
I have such a weakness for lemon desserts! Yummy.
As soon as I saw these on Facebook, I had to run over here! Love lemon and the fact you can have sugar cookies without rolling and cutting.
I am so with you on bringing on spring and spring foods and colors! Looks delicious!
I’m having a little trouble with my Sugar Cookie pilgrimage this year and it’s possible that THIS will be a nice reprieve from the crying and cursing that’s been going on in the kitchen. Hey! I’ve missed you! Just thought I would let you know. FB is acting all crazy and I hardly see anyone’s posts any more. Today when I first brought it up, I was reading post after post from Feb. 25! Glad to see your sweet stuff!!
These are such pretty cookies for spring!
I have to try these! I’ve never had a sugar cookie in bar form – looks delicious! ๐
Joan, these look positively perfect! I LOVE lemon. Perks up any day!
I love all things lemon, and these fit the bill nicely Joan. Welcome back ๐
I’m right there with you, Joan. I’ve been making lemon stuff like it’s my job. Trying to get as much spring color and bright flavors in my life. They are calling for snow tonight, so it sounds like I there will be more lemon sweets in my house very soon. I’ll add this recipe to my list. ๐
Gorgeous Joan! I love me some lemon! ๐
I bought some meyer lemons yesterday. I was in the mood for some refreshing sweets, just like your bars. Now I know what I will make for tomorrow meeting at the church. Thanks Joan!
They are beautiful!! I am ready for Spring to be here…no more snow and cold please!!!
I love they lemon flavor of these bars and the color has me so ready for spring! Just the sight of these bars perk me up and make me happy!
I thought you folks might be interested in this lawsuit filed by a company who appears to believe that they own pretty much every ordinary design for cupcake batter separators, including some that bakers have made for themselves for eons.

I’m totally making these and crediting you of course. YUM!
Joan, this is such a great idea! The Bug and I make sugar cookie bars for Christmas. This would be a great way to change it up for Easter or Mother’s Day!
I just LOVE lemon desserts this time of year. Bring me spring, I miss the sunshine and warmer weather! I will settle for pretty yellow frosting though ๐
Agreed! As much as I love winter, I’m ready for a new season! These cookie bars look great! Pinning…
I thought Spring weather was here to stay, but it is not snowing again. Bleh. These are like little bars of SUNSHINE! ๐ Thanks for sharing at Weekend Potluck!

Thanks so much for this recipe! I made them for a barbecue with friends and they were a big hit and SO easy! ๐ Definitely something to make again!
So glad you liked them Tara!
I really want to make these lemon cookie squares but I don’t have a jelly roll pan. Is there another pan I can use to make the bars? Thank you
Any large cookie sheet with sides would work.
thank you ๐ can’t wait to try these!
