Lemon Bars (with Shortbread Crust!)

"Sweet, and creamy, these lemon bars with a shortbread crust are buttery on the bottom and gooey on top! These classic style lemon squares made with fresh lemons have a rich layer of lemon curd, and are made with simple ingredients for a dessert the whole family will love. I spent a lot of time testing these easy lemon bars to get the perfect balance of sweet and tart using fresh lemon juice. That balance makes these classic lemon bars extra refreshing, and a really delicious dessert full of lemon flavor. "
