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.

    These are terrific. Food 52 did a version with brown butter in the shortbread layer which I tried and was good but I haven’t made the original so I don’t know how it compares. Also I noticed Alice used 1 less T butter in the shortbread in her Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy book which I’ll try next time. So good these are!!

    Awesome recipe. Very strong lemon flavor and shortbread stays crisp for days.

    These were the first lemon bars I made for my husband and I don't think I will try out other recipes on him. He loved the sweet/tart flavor of the lemon with the shortbread crust. I think he would find other recipes dull in comparison.

    I've made these and they are fabulous! The shortbread base is super easy to make (with melted butter). I mixed lime and lemon for the recipe and it tasted great.
