For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in the crust. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly before cutting it into the flour mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts in the filling. Toasted pecans or macadamia nuts would be delicious. If you don't have lemon extract on hand, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Jan 8, 2025I had some issues with the crust being too crumbly, but adding a tablespoon of cold water to the mixture helped it come together nicely. The bars turned out great!
