Peach Cobbler Bars are outrageously good. These lovely bars have a lovely lemony fragrance added to the crust and the peach cobbler filling. They're a gooey dessert bar that's fabulous and reminiscent of eating peach cobbler but in cookie form! Marvelous for backyard barbecues, Summer Family Reunions, potlucks and tailgating parties. Every bite will have you wanting so much more!

Notes
NOTE: If you are unable to locate fresh peaches you can substitute frozen or canned peaches, but you will need to pat them dry before using so they don't add too much additional moisture to the recipe.
