April Cookie Carnival: Toasted Almond Lemon Bars


By Mommy? Im Hungry! Product Reviews and Giveaways (Visit website)





This month's Cookie Carnival cookie is Toasted Almond Lemon Bars and is being guest hosted by Holly of Phemomenon http://phemomenon.blogspot.com/. Yum! Perfect for the start of Spring. They're pretty much a shortbread crust, with a tart and tangy lemony custard like layer on top, then dusted with powdered sugar. I made lemon bars before for my blog, take a look here. These come from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book by Melissa Murphy.

For this recipe I decided to add in the lemon zest too (next time I'll dice it fine, wasn't fun eating a string of zest, lol). They had those bags on sale 2/$3 so I had extra juice and zest, that I froze for a later use. For the crust you add in almonds, which adds a nice subtle nutty flavor and texture.



I've always wondered, Could you use other citrus instead of lemon? Like orange? I think I saw lime bars before -gasp- from a box. Have you had non-lemon bars? I'm curious to try another citrus for these.




enjoy,
