For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling. Make sure your butter is very cold for the crust – this will help create a flaky texture. Don't overbake the filling, or it will become tough. It should be just set in the center. For clean cuts, chill the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes after they've cooled. Store leftover lemon bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
