Joanna Gaines Lemon Bars

May 15, 2018 By denise 25 Comments

The Magnolia Table cookbook is filled with delicious recipes including Joanna Gaines Lemon Bars.

When I first saw that Magnolia Table was going to be released, I was so excited because I am a Chip and Joanna Gaines fan. Love Magnolia the store. Love the Magnolia bakery with all those cupcakes. Love the houses they redo. Love their family – what I see of it on television. And I love her style. I knew from the recipes of hers I had seen previously, I would love the cookbook. These Joanna Gaines Lemon Bars should entice you to get the cookbook.

And I was right! Since I probably won’t be able to make it to Magnolia Table the restaurant anytime soon, this was the next best thing. Now to be clear, I did attempt to take my parents there on a Friday as an early birthday lunch for my mom but with a three-hour wait, I couldn’t ask my parents to sit through that and wait that long to eat. They’re so precious that they probably would have done it but with their health these days, I couldn’t do it. But we enjoyed our trip to Waco nonetheless.

I received this book the day we got home from attempting to eat at Magnolia Table and I gave it to my mom to look at. Bless her little heart, I think she thought I meant to give it to her and she put it in her car to look at when she is waiting on the kiddos. I had to remind her that it was going back home with me.

One thing I’ve always loved but never ever make for myself is Lemon Bars. When I saw the recipe in the cookbook, I knew it would be the first thing I tried and set the tone for the rest of the book. Boy howdy were these things a hit. With the flavor and the fact that they are so simple to make, these will make an appearance on my table many a times.

I can’t wait to try other of Joanna’s recipes – like her biscuits and the Gaines Brothers Burgers. Everything looks so yummy! And I adore all the pictures of the Gaines family!

    The lemon bar recipe in the actual cookbook calls for 1/2 pound of butter or 2 sticks. Four sticks would be too much!

      Yes but I would add about a dash more of salt to it then.

    I made these yesterday. They are absolutely delicious, the only thing I did differently was add two extra tablespoons of lemon juice(only because I had that much left over from the lemons). I will definitely be making these again and they came out just as pretty as your pictures. Thank you!! :)

      I did the same thing except mine would not set. It was very runny. I tented foil over it like the recipe suggested lower the temperature and baked it longer, and it still would not set. Now they are brown and have a very thin coating of lemon.

    These were delicious and very easy to make. Not to sweet or overpowering sour. Have a nice texture. My company really appreciated them.

    This is such an easy recipe. I halved it using 3T of lemon juice and baked in an 8x8 pan; they turned out great. Not too overpowering sweet or painfully sour like other recipes I've tried. This recipe is a win win!
