This lemon shortbread bars recipe is my favorite, especially this time of year! As the weather starts to get a bit nicer, we are all eager for refreshing treats and this recipe is wildly refreshing due to the lemon flavor! Yet, it still has that cozy, comforting piece to it given it’s a shortbread bar. Can you see why I love them especially this time of year? No matter when you make them, they’re sure to be a hit! Aside from them tasting like little bites of heaven, they make your house smell like a delicious bakery and who doesn’t love that!

Do you need to refrigerate lemon bars after baking?

Since this recipe doesn’t have eggs or any ingredients that need to be refrigerated after baking, you’re able to keep them at room temperature. You’re of course welcome to keep them in the fridge if you prefer the coolness but I typically keep my in an airtight container.
