Tangy and sweet! I thought this recipe was simple and delicious. The crunch of cornmeal in the crust is a nice change from the usual shortbread and it was indeed lighter. The filling was lemon-y and bright without being overly sour or cloyingly sweet. Next time I will cook them about 2 minutes less, after the minimum 15 minutes they did not have much "jiggle" as the author describes. They were easy to slice and held together well.

The polar opposite from the bars I prepared recently! These look great - the idea of cornmeal cookie bottom layer sounds like pure genius!
Thanks so much for providing the link to the recipe.
