Whether you're in need of a treat to brighten the holiday season or searching for a sweet to tote to a summer potluck, these ultra-citrusy bars are up for the job. Fresh lemon zest and juice enhance the dough, while a lemon-laced icing carries the flavor through from top to bottom. The secret ingredient here—cornstarch—lends a softer, more tender texture to the bars so they literally melt in your mouth. Another time, swap in orange or lime juice and zest to change up the flavor profile.
