These lemon coconut shortbread bars are simple and quick to make, and everyone loves to eat them!
I hosted a party last week and today I’m sharing with you a yummy dessert I made, lemon coconut shortbread bars that are perfect for any party or celebration.
Because I love to bake, I always make a homemade good for an event and the appetizers I provide are usually very simple.
I was given the beautiful Kitchen Wedge in maple from Polder’s Old World Market.
The lemon bars have this delicious tang offset by some sweetness, that no one can resist!

Those kitchen utensils are beautiful. And how did I not try the lemon squares?! Save me some!
I can’t tell you how I’m craving lemon bars now! I’ve gathered the ingredients and can’t wait to try your recipe this evening!? I also use my cookie spatula to serve almost everything! It’s got to be my most used piece next to the double sided measuring spoon:). I love that you’ve collected each in different woods?….. That’s my hardest decision when ordering a special piece from old world Kitchen…. It’s which wood to have it carved in. I LOVE them all?. I think I have 5 different woods. I think my next piece would have to be the chef spoon and honey dipper and one of those need to be fancy maple ?
Thank you for sharing! I’m excited to go and try?
Really, I would love to win! Very much!
Oh, please count me in! I love Ponders!
