Frosted lemon-lime sugar cookie bars from Snacking Bakes: Simple Recipes for Cookies, Bars, Brownies, Cakes, and More (page 89) by Yossy Arefi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Husband and friends loved these cookies!

    All 3 of the previous notes are helpful. I dropped the cream cheese in the melted butter and mixed it when quite warm so I was able to do it with a whisk. The bars absolutely must have the frosting for them to work. My husband loved them and I served them at a gathering and people really liked them. I agree with et12 though and they were not the texture I wanted. They didn’t get crisp at the edges or bottom like a cookie and I baked mine a couple extra minutes. They are pretty if you decorate them with zest. I will probably make again as hubby liked them so much and I usually have the ingredients on hand.

    Chewy and citrusy. The frosting is where the lemon-lime flavor comes through, so don’t skip.

    I thought these were good but not the texture I was hoping for from a ‘cookie bar’. I messed up a bit with my icing by not having enough icing sugar on hand and having put in too much liquid, but it still provided a nice citrusy flavour.

    I wasn't able to mix the ingredients in step 2 with a whisk - perhaps the melted butter needs to be quite warm for it to work - so I resorted to a hand mixer to do the work. Apart from that, these came together quickly. The cookies were citrusy and chewy, as promised in the headnotes, and were very well received.
