These little treats we created are definitely for Lemon Lovers! This is easy to make and can be put together in a pinch. Great for pot lucks, reunions, weddings, cookouts, or luncheons. Serve as is or with lemon sherbert garnished with whipped cream and a mint leaf. NOTE: Due to previous reviews, on 8/18/08 we edited the ingredient amounts. We have tested these new amounts and hope you will find it to work out as great as we do.

Not that these weren't good, I just didn't realize that they would be so oat-y. We really didn't like all the oatmeal, but the lemon center was delicious. Next time I will omit the oatmeal and use more flour.

Made these for dessert tonight. DH and DD loved them, but I thought they could use more lemony flavor. Next time I will make it with the same amount of filling ingredients but half the outside ingredients and baking it in a 8in square pan. Love lemon desserts, thanks!

Made these for some weekend guests (a potluck, actually) & they were a big hit! After reading other reviews, I decided to double the filling & also added zest from a 3rd lemon! Took a little more time for it all to bake, but it was well worth it! Thanks so much for this keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
